How Did the Dust Bowl Get Here?

The Dust Bowl happened in areas of the middle section of the US because the native grasses (sod) that held the soil together, had been destroyed by years of plowing the land and planting crops in the same area over and over again. When the major winds hit, there was nothing to hold the top soil on the ground and the winds just picked up the soil and blew it away.
