The Dust Bowl was primarily caused by a combination of severe drought conditions and poor agricultural practices in the Great Plains during the 1930s. Farmers, driven by the demand for crops, over-plowed and over-farmed the land, stripping it of natural grasses that held the soil in place. When drought struck, the exposed topsoil was easily swept away by strong winds, leading to massive dust storms. This environmental disaster exacerbated the economic hardships of the Great Depression, displacing thousands of families and devastating agricultural production.
