Fertile lands contributed to the Dust Bowl primarily through unsustainable farming practices that stripped the soil of its natural vegetation. When drought struck the Great Plains in the 1930s, the lack of grass and crops left the soil exposed, leading to severe erosion and dust storms. Additionally, the over-cultivation of these fertile lands without adequate crop rotation or soil conservation measures worsened the situation, making the region particularly vulnerable to the environmental conditions that caused the Dust Bowl.
