Before the Dust Bowl, the primary crops in the affected states, particularly in the Great Plains, were wheat, corn, and sorghum. These crops thrived in the region's dry climate and were significant for both local consumption and export. The extensive cultivation, particularly of wheat, contributed to the depletion of topsoil and made the land vulnerable to erosion. The combination of drought and poor agricultural practices ultimately led to the catastrophic dust storms characteristic of the Dust Bowl era.
