Answer;

If farmers knew the region had regular wet and dry cycles they could have better prepared for dry cycles.

if farmers knew the region had regular wet and dry cycles they could have better prepared for dry cycles, then it would have reduced the severity of the Dust bowl.

Explanation;

The Dust Bowl was an environment disaster, that was a combination of severe water shortage and harsh farming techniques, in the drought-stricken Southern Plains region of the United States, which suffered severe dust storms during a dry period in the 1930s.

The impact on families living in the regions affected was that; many remained in the region, while some moved to Colorado and Central California living as migrant (traveling) farm workers.
