Answer:

farming

Step-by-step explanation:

American farming and ecology greatly suffered in the 1930's also known as dust blows. The term Dust Blow refers to the period when southern plains of the United States faces severe drought conditions because of dust carried by wind. It caused great hardship to millions of poverty-stricken Americans which was caused by inadequate farming techniques which left the soil vulnerable for high winds. However, its effects did not confined to southern plains but covered a large part of the country.
