Well holy fuck that is insane. Didn’t really know anything about the dust bowl, but of course it was because of gross negligence and incompetence by white people.
Yeah, just really ridiculous standards for agriculture that wouldn’t have passed muster anywhere else. The white settlers really shot themselves (and everyone else in the process) in the face with the idea that they could just reap monocrops forever without taking even basic care (in terms of soil fertility or stability ) of the land they lived and farmed on.
