In the desert southwest of the United States, the Hopi people practiced dry farming for thousands of years. Hopi corn is known for its extreme drought tolerance and is sown up to 18 inches deep.

The Dust Bowl was not caused by dry farming techniques. It was caused by severe and extensive drought that affected many nations durring the 1800s due to record temperatures and lack of rainfall.

The Dust Bowl in the 1930s was caused by a big drought and very hot weather, but farming practices made it worse. Farmers had removed grasses that kept the soil in place, so when the drought came, the soil turned into dust and blew away.

@@Agronomag That's what I said. It was caused by drought, not farming.
