Effects of the Dust Bowl
Swoosh! Dust and wind rocks your house back and forth. You wake up and find that there is three feet of dust in every room your flimsy house. You pull up the covers and hope that when you peek out of them your house will still be standing. By the end of 1934, 38 dust storms had swept across the land of the south. By the end of the Dust Bowl over 250,000 were homeless. The Dust Bowl was a disastrous event caused by farmers over plowing the fields in the south, but there were terrible effects on farmers and their crops, animals, and daily lives.
The Dust Bowl was caused by farmers but that doesn’t mean it didn’t affect them. Jackrabbits and grasshoppers (a.k.a. locus) weren’t necessarily bad unless you were a farmer.
