The long drought conditions were just one of the causes for the Dust Bowl- overuse of the land and falling farm product prices also contributed to this disaster.
The greatest effect of the dust bowl years was on small farm families in the south and midwest. The low farm prices and crop failures produced hundreds of thousands of foreclosures. The worst problems were in Oklahoma, Texas and nearby states, but the dust bowl problems affected a huge area.
It was very difficult. You couldn't farm because the soil became sand, there was dust storms all the time, and tons of erosion.
No, people did not migrate to Oklahoma, a lot of people migrated from Oklahoma.During the dust bowl people from Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado migrated to California.
To me a dust bowl would be a area of growth that just dried up. A once productive place with plenty of work,families and so forth. Crops do nothing in the dust bowl,no grass for the farm animals nothing for the people to stay for.
The grapes of wrath
The term was intended to be pretty descriptive.

Many farmers moved West to California when their farm turned to dust.

The dust bowl was caused by both people and nature. People cleared away existing vegetation in order to make the land ready to farm, and then when there was a period of reduced rain, the land dried up and got very dusty.
Because there hasent been a single dust storm and its a very save. Place to live
This led to what is called the Dust Bowl days.
because of the dust bowl, which was a result of over farming and not rotating crops. The topsoil was lost and the farm lands dried up.
