actually it was that the farmers wanted land for their crops so they took away grass then they wnt in a drought and couldnt water their crops so it got all dry and then the dust came. i know because we studied it.

I believe it was a combination of several factors all coming together - a period of drought and windy conditions, poor farming practices (lack of cover crops, wind breaks, etc), the new machinery of plows and tractors and lack of understanding of the soil that was being farmed. Only time will tell of the dust bowl will return.

Wow.. This shows one of the negative effects of technology. Amazing, it was the tractors. |
