Straw bale construction flourished in the Sandhills of Nebraska more than any known location. Straw was one of the only indigenous materials available to the sandhills area of northwest Nebraska. Bale construction was an appropriate, sometimes necessary, response to a unique combination of legislative, geologic, natural resource and socio-economic factors that prevailed in that region in the early 1900's.
