By the late 1930s, the Dust Bowl covered more than 25,000 square miles. Ruined farms sent farming families to the cities for work. even in places where crops could grow, the Great Depression kept prices so low that it wasn't worth harvesting them. Other times, grasshopper plagues attacked the crops.

The Dust Bowl not only was an enviornmental disaster, it forced the farmers in the Plains and mid-west to leave their farms and head west. They became a new class of citizens-the migrant workers, following the crops from season to season to find work. The loss of their farms and the lack of their products being sent to market affected the entire nation. The dust blew across the nation and into Washington, DC. The congress finally acted and created the Soil Conservation Act.
