Leaving the Dust Bowl |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| During the 1930s, the southern Great Plains region of the US became known as the Dust Bowl because of severe wind erosion brought on by several years of drought and overtillage. President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal policy helped alleviate the financial losses, and new methods of land conservation were implemented. | ||||||
