    People settled the region in greater numbers, increasing the amount of land being plowed and grazed. This along with poor farming practices ultimately led to the Dust Bowl in the 1930's. A new deal bill called the Agricultural Adjustment Act, prohibited unsafe farming practices, planted trees to stabilize the soil, and told farmers that they had to rotate their crops.
