Drought

Given my research, I believe that it is unlikely for another dustbowl to occur. Look on of the biggest reasons that the first dustbowl happened is because of poor farming practices. The poor practices were ,that they farmed away the natural grass and the crops that were put in that grasses place could not hold the soil together and thus the dust bowl was born. But since then we now have a more modernized way of farming and have a lot better understanding of soil. So it could still happen it is just very unlikely that it would.
