During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, farmers employed several strategies to cope with the devastating conditions. Many adopted new farming techniques such as crop rotation and contour plowing to conserve soil moisture and reduce erosion. Some sought government assistance through programs like the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which aimed to stabilize prices and provide financial relief. Additionally, many families migrated to other regions, particularly California, in search of better opportunities.
