"Suitcase Farmers" Called It A "Sure Bet" — Until "Black Blizzards" Bankrupted Their Entire Scheme

The "Dust Bowl" of the 1930s was one of America's worst environmental disasters, but it wasn't just caused by drought. It was caused by a seductive lie that convinced an entire nation to plow up the Great Plains. This is the untold story of the technology, the greed, and the profound ignorance that turned the most fertile land on earth against its people.
