During the 1930s, deflation exacerbated the Dust Bowl crisis by decreasing agricultural prices, which led farmers to reduce production and abandon their land. As crops failed and soil erosion intensified, strong winds lifted the exposed topsoil, creating massive dust storms. This combination of economic hardship and environmental disaster displaced thousands of families and significantly impacted the agricultural sector. The resulting hardships contributed to a broader economic downturn during the Great Depression.
The Dust Bowl impacted the US during the 1930s, specifically from about 1931 to 1939. It was a period of severe dust storms that greatly affected agriculture and the environment in the Great Plains region.
