During the 1930s, environmental changes in the form of drought and dust storms, known as the Dust Bowl, devastated farmers living on the Great Plains. The lack of rainfall, coupled with poor farming practices that stripped the land of its natural vegetation, led to crop failures and soil erosion. Many farmers were forced to abandon their land and livelihoods, causing widespread economic hardship and migration.
The "Dust Bowl" was the loss of farmland to drought and erosion in the 1930s. Many farmers left the Great Plains during the height of the Great Depression (1934-1936) and migrated to other areas, especially California, where some found work as migrant laborers.
