DUST BOWLS
Dust bowls lasted about ten years, and had a large effect on the southern plains. It caused drought, which effected agriculture. Families who lived in the south had trouble planting crops, and making profits. Wheat farmers had a lot of buisness,and people were paying good prices for wheat. Wheat farmers started planting, and growing wheat like never before. In the 1930's land was dry, but wheat farmers had good buisness. The dust bowls had rapid storms coming one after another, and the storms were in continuous sucession. Dust storms would roll in with rumbles, and big dark clouds would start to appear. Houses were closed up with clothes shoved in the doors, and windows so no dirt could get into families houses.
