During the Dust Bowl, the primary crops grown included wheat, corn, and oats. These crops were heavily cultivated in the Great Plains region, often leading to over-farming and soil degradation. The combination of drought and poor agricultural practices resulted in severe soil erosion, contributing to the environmental disaster of the 1930s. Many farmers faced devastating losses, prompting a shift towards more sustainable farming methods afterward.
