The Dust Bowl refers to a drought experienced in the Plains states. Subsistence farmers were hit by foreclosures owing to their inability to farm. Many packed up their belongings and moved to California in search of farm worker jobs to support their families. President Roosevelt included specific bills in his New Deal Program, aimed at helping the victims of the Dust Bowl. These included allocation of federal, protected lands under the Taylor Act of 1934, and the Civil Conservation Corps, which allowed young men to do outdoor work and send money home to their families.
