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.

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.
