The dust bowl the occurred in prairie states which included Kansas and Oklahoma. The prairies were covered with prairie plants, mostly grass. This formed a natural sod which was rather deep. The sod kept the soil in place during times of low rainfall. When farmers came to this area they plowed up the sod exposing the soil. For this reason they were called 'sod busters'. In the 30s a large drought occurred. When winds blew, soil was picked up and blew about. More and more soil was picked up and blown about. This time was called the dirty 30s. Sometimes people would get the soil blown in their eyes and never saw again. The dirt was blown as far as Washington DC. Washington finally came up with the Soil Conservation Act. Farming practices were changed to preserve the soil. Teddy Roosevelt was President at this time.

What did the farmers do their land to fix it during the dust bowl?
They started contour-plowing the land, making terraces which were designed to minimize the amount of soil blowing away. They also planted grasses that were either tame or native to the area and were given a opportunity by the government to let their fields go to grass and never plow them again. Those who did such a thing were given money every year to encourage this practice and help get the prairies back to the way it was before it became plowed under.

How did people attempted to help solve problems in the dust bowl?
From 1935-1940 the Dust Bowl affected Americans all over the Great Plains. Farmers since the founding of the United States did not practice crop rotation. Which made the dirt dry and unfit for any type of vegetation. During World War I (when grain prices were high), farmers plowed up thousands of acres of natural grassland to plant wheat. On top of this, a drought struck the Great Plains (from 1934-1937). All of these factors came into play when some high winds came in. The Great Plains were no longer grasslands so there were no roots to hold the soil in place. All of the topsoil blew away and all that was left was dry, unhealthy dirt. Thus, the name "Dust Bowl". Many people left the Great Plains and migrated to the city. Unfortunately, at the same time, there was the Great Depression happening and there were no jobs to be found.
