How did the dust bowl contribute to the spread of poverty?

The spreading of dust and intense winds ruined farms, often a family’s only source of food and income in the West. Because of the Great Depression, the farmers had relied on their goods, but when the Dust Bowl started, crops were uprooted and the soil was ruined. Hope I helped, and let me know if you need anything else!! :)

Dust ball force people who were farmers to move from their house because the drought was not letting them grow crops and they need to pay their mortgage and when farmers can’t grow crops then the market places can’t sell them
