Scientists Decode Dust Bowl
By John Fleck

It has been known since the 1930s that farming practices helped cause the dusty part the Dust Bowl, removing natural vegetation that held the dirt in place. Precious topsoil simply blew away, degrading farmland. Major changes in farming practices adopted in response continue to this day.
Plain truth is, there is land suitable for farming, there is land suitable for pasturage, and there is some land that should be left just as it is. If you need an example of the latter, BBB, look out your front door.
