. Prejudice and discrimination

Answer

Many of the farmers of the midwest, caught in a drought and loss of crops due to locusts decided to pull up stakes and move to California since they heard that there were jobs to be had in the fields out there. Unfortunately, too many people went there for too few jobs. With no money, they ended up living in camps. Read(or watch the movie) the Grapes of Wrath for more understanding of the issues.

Later, scientists found that the way the farmers had been plowing the land was responsible for the loss of top soil to the wind. Now the common practice is to plow with the contours of the land.
