During the 1930s, environmental changes in the form of drought and dust storms, known as the Dust Bowl, devastated farmers living on the Great Plains. The lack of rainfall, coupled with poor farming practices that stripped the land of its natural vegetation, led to crop failures and soil erosion. Many farmers were forced to abandon their land and livelihoods, causing widespread economic hardship and migration.

During the 1930s, many farmers in the United States faced significant hardships due to the Great Depression and severe drought conditions, particularly in the Dust Bowl region. Crop prices plummeted, leading to widespread financial distress, and many farmers lost their land to foreclosure. The drought caused soil erosion and failed harvests, exacerbating the economic challenges. As a result, millions of farming families struggled to survive, leading many to migrate in search of better opportunities.
