What did the farmers do their land to fix it during the dust bowl?
They started contour-plowing the land, making terraces which were designed to minimize the amount of soil blowing away. They also planted grasses that were either tame or native to the area and were given a opportunity by the government to let their fields go to grass and never plow them again. Those who did such a thing were given money every year to encourage this practice and help get the prairies back to the way it was before it became plowed under.

How Did the Dust Bowl Get Here?
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was caused by poor use of the land by farmers and the lack of agricultural knowledge (mostly which did not exist in the 30s) about protecting the soil. 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.
