When farmers from the Dust Bowl moved into new areas, they often transformed the landscape through intensive agricultural practices, leading to increased crop production. However, this shift frequently resulted in soil depletion and erosion, as the new farming techniques did not always account for sustainable land management. Additionally, the influx of farmers strained local resources and infrastructure, altering the social and economic dynamics of the regions they settled in. Ultimately, while they sought better opportunities, their arrival had lasting environmental and community impacts.

The steel plow had just been invented and it ripped through the top soil and grass. This made the earth and soil VERY loose. The dirt created the dust bowl, because all over farmers were buying the steel plows, they were less work. During the dust bowl dust and soil covered EVERYTHING in the south. The farmers couldn't hardly keep anything they planted alive because it would be covered in dirt. Dust storms killed alot of crop and covered not only crop but houses. So it affected farmers by killing crop. At lease if the farmers were in the south it did. They could not pay their loans or afford to buy basics.
to California
The displaced farmers became the migrants described in John Steinbeck's, Grapes of Wrath. Families from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arkansas, packed what they could in cars and trucks and headed west. Most were aiming for California where they would become a class of migrant farmers, following the crops during the harvesting season.
