The Dust Bowl was a man-made disaster. The prairies are rather dry and sometimes do not get much water as rainfall. The farmers who lived there plowed the grass that kept soil in place. They were often called sod busters. This exposed the soil to dry and windy conditions. There was nothing to hold the soil in place then. People couldn't grow crops then so they had to move from there.
