Before the Dust Bowl, the 1920s saw an agricultural boom in the Great Plains, driven by mechanization and high demand for crops, which led to extensive plowing and over-farming. However, a severe drought in the early 1930s, combined with poor land management practices, caused the soil to dry out and erode, resulting in massive dust storms. After the Dust Bowl, the U.S. government implemented programs like the Soil Conservation Service to promote sustainable farming practices and restore the land. This led to significant changes in agricultural techniques and policies, helping to prevent future ecological disasters.
