The government Took their land
What was a consequence of the dust bowl?
Before the days of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression, the area was rich, fertile farmland. During the Dust Bowl, most of the irreplaceable topsoil blew away essentially removing farming as a viable vocation in the area.
How did the farmers get water during the 1930's dust bowl?
They didn't get rain and had no other way to get it.
How were farmers affected by the dust bowl?
The steel plow had just been invented and it ripped through the top soil and grass. This made the earth and soil VERY loose. The dirt created the dust bowl, because all over farmers were buying the steel plows, they were less work. During the dust bowl dust and soil covered EVERYTHING in the south. The farmers couldn't hardly keep anything they planted alive because it would be covered in dirt. Dust storms killed alot of crop and covered not only crop but houses. So it affected farmers by killing crop. At lease if the farmers were in the south it did. They could not pay their loans or afford to buy basics.
Where did many of these migrant farmers go from the dust bowl?
to California
