Moving off the plains to find new farmland
over worked land and drought
Two major factors that contributed to the Dust Bowl were severe drought conditions and poor agricultural practices. The prolonged lack of rainfall in the 1930s, combined with the over-farming of the land without adequate crop rotation or soil conservation techniques, led to the depletion of topsoil. This resulted in massive dust storms that devastated farmland and displaced thousands of families.

The long drought conditions were just one of the causes for the Dust Bowl- overuse of the land and falling farm product prices also contributed to this disaster.

Drought, and infertile land
The Dust Bowl primarily affected the Great Plains region of the United States during the 1930s, with South Dakota being one of the states severely impacted. The conditions that contributed to the Dust Bowl began in parts of western South Dakota, particularly in areas like the Black Hills and the surrounding plains. Factors such as drought, poor agricultural practices, and high winds combined to create the devastating dust storms that characterized this period.
