Taking a historical and conservational approach, this National History Day in Missouri junior individual documentary explores the Dust Bowl that swept through the Plains in the 1930s. Going all the way to the national competition, this documentary looks at the poor farming methods of the post-World War I era leading into the Depression era and how that contributed to the Dust Bowl, while also looking toward the future and preventing another Dust Bowl.

The Dust Bowl was caused by a 7-year static wind in an unusual place. this was a weather event for more than a farming event. it can---- no, it will -- happen again no matter what rotation , fertilization, or mechanization is used. Yes, the Dust Bowl was a horrible tragedy; but it was a weather phenomenon and not a farming technology phenomenon. This video is the same ignorant narrative we were taught in school.

Sounds like it's probably also a good idea to include some crop rotation. One needs to make it a point to plant at least two different crops and to rotate them from one year to the next.
