Pbs: The Dust Bowl

You are about to embark on an experience that will show you what life was like on the southern Great Plains during the Dust Bowl. On your journey, you will learn about the changing market and weather conditions and be asked to make decisions about whether to play it safe and keep your farm the same size or expand it for a greater profit. You will also meet several of your neighbors, who are doing their best to make it. Some will stay on the land, trying to scrape out a living. Others will say enough and head west. What choices will you make?
