Research the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s. Write a post on your blog about the dust bowl and how it impacted families, and the environment.
When the dust bowl happened it impacted families because three million people left their farms and half a million migrated to other states. By 1940 2.5 million people had already migrated from the regions that were affected by the dust bowl. Because of the dust bowl, lots of people wanted to do something about it. A New Jersey asphalt company thought about paving the plains. Some farmers even paid $500 to have their very own rocket thing that shoots out moisture and induces showers. Sisalkraft suggested covering farms with waterproof paper. The environment during the dust bowl was terrible the environment looked like a drought with poor land. The environment looked way worst after the dust bowl than before. That’s how it impacted families and the environment.
