The Drought Relief Service (DRS) was a federal agency of the U.S. New Deal formed in 1935 to coordinate relief activities in response to the Dust Bowl. It purchased cattle at risk of starvation due to drought.
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.)
