What is a dust bowl?
If you are looking for The dustbowl it is a giant duststorm covering the great plains. It started around '33 with a long drought and unending wind. It blew for ten years taking most of the topsoil with it until the plains looked more like the Sahara than farmland. No plants or animals or rain. The Okies left their foreclosed farms and went to the promised land in California to start a new life. A dustbowl is sorta like a sand storm but it's shaped like a tornado.
How did the dust bowl effect the farmers?
Farmers were unable to grow crops because of a lack of fertile soil. There crops were their livelihood, as it was their main source of food and income. Also, the few crops they did have were eaten by swarms of rabbits which came down from the mountains due to a lack of food. Farmers would schedule days to go out and club tons of rabbits. Also, many people died of dust pneumonia, an infection caused by the vast amount of dirt particles in the air. They were constantly breathing in dust which would clog their lungs. There were many dust storms, almost like sand storms. The lack of plant life allowed the dirt to be blown away by the strong winds in the "bread basket" causing the dust bowl. Many farmers were forced to leave their homes in search of a better lifestyle.
