During the Dust Bowl, it is estimated that around 2.5 million farmers and their families migrated from the Great Plains to other regions, particularly California, between the 1930s and early 1940s. This mass migration was driven by severe drought, soil erosion, and economic hardship, which devastated agricultural communities. Many of these migrants, often referred to as "Okies," sought better opportunities and living conditions in the West.
Many farmers from the Dust Bowl region migrated to California seeking work in agriculture. Some also headed to the West Coast looking for new opportunities. However, a significant number remained in the Midwest and adapted to new farming practices.
It is estimated that around 300,000 people migrated to California from the Midwestern states during the Dust Bowl era in the 1930s. This migration was driven by severe drought and dust storms that devastated farming communities in the Great Plains.
