Mainly their lack of erosion-countering methods such as crop rotation, fallowing fields, and cover cropping. The most common tillage method was plowing, which left the soil completely exposed to the power of the wind, especially during and following the drought that started in 1934. It is now believed that the dustbowl conditions created even helped to continue the drought, because incoming weather systems simply evaporated over the dry countryside.
The enclosure movement taught farmers to consolidate scattered strips of land into larger, more efficiently managed fields. By enclosing their land, farmers could increase agricultural productivity and improve crop yields. However, this process often led to the displacement of small farmers and the concentration of land ownership in the hands of wealthier landowners.
Protective tariffs. Apex :)
The enclosure movement taught farmers to fence land earmarked for grazing and cultivation.
Ranchers preferred open grazing land and depended on large land areas for livestock, whereas farmers needed fenced land for crops and irrigation. This difference in land use led to competition for resources like water and land in the Great Plains.
Rice farmers in the Philippines have transformed the landscape by converting vast areas of land into rice paddies through terracing and irrigation systems. This has altered the natural topography of the land and resulted in a patchwork of rice fields across the countryside, especially in regions like the Cordilleras. The intensive cultivation of rice has also led to deforestation and soil erosion in some areas.
Low crops, poverty.
Farmers in Massachusetts fell into financial straights after the Revolutionary War. The problems that came along with the debts they owed creditors led to Shay's rebellion.
The dust bowl led to depression. For many people.
The severe dust storms during the Dust Bowl era led to crop failures, soil erosion, and a decline in agricultural productivity. This resulted in widespread unemployment, food scarcity, and a decrease in farm incomes. The economic problems were exacerbated by the forced migration of farmers and the increased reliance on government aid programs.

by using intensive farming practices that removed protective grasses (novanet;)
