During the 1930s, deflation exacerbated the Dust Bowl crisis by decreasing agricultural prices, which led farmers to reduce production and abandon their land. As crops failed and soil erosion intensified, strong winds lifted the exposed topsoil, creating massive dust storms. This combination of economic hardship and environmental disaster displaced thousands of families and significantly impacted the agricultural sector. The resulting hardships contributed to a broader economic downturn during the Great Depression.
It was a terrible decade with the dust bowl and the great depression.
A long period (years) of drought led to the dust bowl in the 1930s. This left the top soil prone to wind erosion. When winds came, it created dust storms that killed many because you cannot breathe in dust.
