During the 1930s more than three million plains settlers left their farms some for town, some for a neighboring state, some for California . Many more,however, stayed put, covering their windows with a water-soaked sheet, eating jackrabbit stew at a kitchen where an eating cloth covered all the plates and drinking cups.

What was the main reason why people left the Great Plains during the Great Depression?
The main reason for people to leave the Great Plains during the Depression was the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The dust bowl winds began in 1932 but the Dust Bowl got its name from the horrendous winds beginning in 1935. The primary area it effected was the southern Plains. The northern Plains were not hit so badly but the drought, the blowing dust, and the decline of agriculture in the region had a nationwide effect. The wind "turned day into night" and was so strong it picked up the topsoil on the ground and blew it away in large clouds of dust. The farmers who worked the Great Plains had been breaking up the sod and soil on the plain states since the time of the Homestead Act. Poor farming techniques and years of depleting the soil led to the soil becoming susceptible to the winds.
