Discussion
During the 1930s, the United States underwent a major
agricultural disaster. The ecology of the Southern Plains; which
included parts of eastern Wyoming, western Kansas, eastern
New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and southwest Texas;
underwent a transformational change from moist, rich
grasslands to a barren desert-like environment wrought with
dust storms, widespread drought, and crop failures. This change
clashed with the prevailing climatological theory of the time,
which surmised that human habitation and agriculture could
effect a permanent change in the terrestrial water cycle of an
arid region through soil cultivation, increasing the amount of
available moisture by plowing up and releasing water within the
ground. This theory is exemplified during the 19th century by
Charles Dana Wilber, who coined the phrase, "rain follows the
plow". However, the theory did not stand up to the test of
science, nor the test of nature.
Watch the 1-hour video, surviving the Dust Bowl (PBS). As you
view this video, consider the motivations of the vast numbers of
farmers who settled the Southern Plains of the United States,
and how the semiarid climate did not dissuade them from
attempting to farm there. Determine for yourself why "rain
follows the plow" did not hold up to reality, and what the
causes were for the enormous, regional dust storms that
engulfed the country. Examine the fragility of an agricultural
region in the face of climate change, how quickly the change
can happen, and what impacts to humans, food supplies, and
environmental health can occur in its wake. Contemplate the
scope of massive human migration during this period, and

2. consider the effects it had on the rest of the country, including
air quality and government intervention.
