well, as i do my research on the dust bowl, i thought i could also blog about it. THe dust bowl was all throughout the 30's and it was caused by severe dust storms, drought and because the farmers didnt rotate their crop. Acres of farmland became useless and families were falling apart. People were starving and not getting any money. it was a really hard time and especially since it was around the depression too. It left almost 500,000 homeless. It was a huge diaster. Because of this, there was a huge migration with millions of poeple. noone knew what to do. The governements response was to conserve the soil, but nothing really helped. Im really excited to read this book though because ive hread its really good so im pretty pumped.
