i have heard the farmers caused the dust bowl. but not the drought. overfarming and tilling hundreds of miles of dirt all at once left topsoils exposed to the drying winds. the results was dust storms common on deserts but not usually found on plains covered with plants.

result? farmer subsidies and setbacks.

it could happen again but with no till farming methods we have learned from our mistake.

hopefully.
