Yes many people starved because the dust ruined their crops and if you didn't have enough money to buy things from the store people didn't have much sympathy for you because they had their own families to worry about.

Also some living in the Panhandle of the Dust Bowl had little food so they even tried to eat jarred tumbleweeds, which they also fed to their sheep. (source: The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan)

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 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.
