How did the storms in the dust bowl contribute to economic problems?

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.


How were farmers affected by the dust bowl?

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.
