Overworking the land without proper irrigation. people planted crops year after year without giving the land a break to regain the natural vitality, basically using up everything the land had before it could heal itself. They also cut down every tree to make buildings and houses and didn't replant them so that there weren't any natural blockers to keep the wind from tearing up the dirt. Until the government brought in scientists to figure out what happened the land was not usable.

Where did many of the victims of the dust bowl migrate to?
As families realized that the drought and dust storms would not end, some sold what they could not take and began to drive west on Route 66. Many hoped to become hired hands on California farms, learning how to grow fruits and vegetables while living on the farms where they worked. However, California farms typically hired seasonal workers only when they were needed, and used farm workers to perform specific tasks rather than learn how to become farmers in their own right.

How were farmers affected by the dust bowl?
The steel plow had just been invented and it ripped through the top soil and grass. This made the earth and soil VERY loose. The dirt created the dust bowl, because all over farmers were buying the steel plows, they were less work. During the dust bowl dust and soil covered EVERYTHING in the south. The farmers couldn't hardly keep anything they planted alive because it would be covered in dirt. Dust storms killed alot of crop and covered not only crop but houses. So it affected farmers by killing crop. At lease if the farmers were in the south it did. They could not pay their loans or afford to buy basics.
