- Throughout the 1920s, many farmers in Oklahoma used dryland farming. Farmers destroyed any plant that would compete with wheat for water. This ended up destroying the system that held the dirt down. Windstorms picked up the dirt and blew it throughout Oklahoma. This was called the Dust Bowl.
- Designed by President Roosevelt, the New Deal was supposed to restore the soil in Oklahoma to its former glory and help people restore their farms.
