Extensive farming combined with severe drought caused the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Deep plowing on the Great Plains killed the natural grasses that kept soil in place, and the topsoil turned to dust and blew away.
In 1937, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) reported that drought was the main reason for relief in the Dust Bowl region. More than two thirds were farmers. Total assistance was estimated at $1 billion (in 1930s dollars).The report found that losses in the Dust Bowl affected the entire national economy. .(Source: Economics of the Dust Bowl, National Drought Mitigation Center.)
