Yes many people starved because the dust ruined their crops and if you didn't have enough money to buy things from the store people didn't have much sympathy for you because they had their own families to worry about.

The steel plow had just been invented and it ripped through the top soil and grass. This made the earth and soil VERY loose. The dirt created the dust bowl, because all over farmers were buying the steel plows, they were less work. During the dust bowl dust and soil covered EVERYTHING in the south. The farmers couldn't hardly keep anything they planted alive because it would be covered in dirt. Dust storms killed alot of crop and covered not only crop but houses. So it affected farmers by killing crop. At lease if the farmers were in the south it did.

They could not pay their loans or afford to buy basics.

Due to inaccurate record keeping at the time and that most of the affected regions were sparsely populated/rural it is impossible to know exactly how many people died. Some estimates go as high as 7,000. At least 2.5 million were left homeless or were forced to move by 1940. The long-term side-effects of dust inhalation and related diseases likely caused many more deaths over time.

Overworked land and drought.

The Dust Bowl and The Great Depression have no connection. The dust bowl was a natural disaster caused by dirt of the topsoil and a lot of wind. The closest connection would be that farmers, trying to make more money at the time plowed up all the land and when the dry seasons came, they were [screwed]. But otherwise, there is no real connection.

This was caused by long periods of drought combined with decades of extensive farming without crop rotation, leaving fallow fields (plowed but unseeded) and cover crops (crops to cover the fields to prevent erosion).

Farmers plowed their fields heavily and lost the grasses and moisture that kept soil in place during droughts and high winds. The drought lasted 6 years (10 years in some places) causing starvaton and even death.

The storms/drought affected hundreds of thousands of families and during the severe storms of 1934 hundreds of people in Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas had died from the heat.

The President established the Resettlement Administration and later, the Farm Security Administration to alleviate the plight of the migrants and rural poor, and also to attack the root causes of environmental degradation that brought about the dustbowl conditions. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Soil Erosion Service were established to deal with the environmental issues. In 1935, the Prairie States Forestry Project was created to create a "shelter belt" from the Texas Panhandle to the Canadian border. Trees were planted as windbreaks and new farming techniques initiated by the New Deal stopped the dust storms.

The dust bowl refers to a series of dust storms that hit Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and North and South Dakota from 1933 until 1939. Due to over-farming and lack of rainfall, wind storms blew the top soil off, creating massive clouds of dust, killing people and animals as well as making in impossible to farm. One in 1935 reached Chicago lasting for days. People had to abandon their farms. Many went to California. John Steinbeck's novel, Grapes of Wrath, tell the story of a family of "Okies" who went west due the dust. The solution was to plant cover crops and trees and limit agriculture. Small scale dust storms can still occur in dry years.
