Many farmers were moving to California. Thousands of them due to their farms being repossessed by the banks. The great exodus of farmers to California created little jobs there. Many migrants believed California was a place where they would find posterity. They soon found that many California residents hated them fearing that they were taking over the state. Because many of the farmers had families they needed to support they took jobs with very low wages (some 15 cents an hour) in order to make sure their family wouldn't starve.

Farmers that didn't want to move to Californa likely knew that it would be no better there than their current location

Why Did Farmers Move West?

to find more work so they could get money and survive. The Dust Bowl occured during the same time, which affected many farmers and farm workers in the Southern Plains. California still had many crops to grow and fields to work in, so many of these farmers migrated from Kansas, Oklahoma, etc, to California to continue their jobs of farming.
