It was caused by poor farming techniques

The eight-year drought that plagued the central U.S. in the 1930s, immortalized in The Grapes of Wrath, wracked the Great Plains with devastating dust storms and affected two thirds of this country as well as parts of Mexico and Canada. Paramount to determining why the conditions were so severe and long-lasting is discerning what caused the drought to begin with. Findings published today in the journal Science suggest that unusual sea surface temperatures could be to blame

This. Severe drought… the likes that had not been seen before or after Caused the dust bowl. Sure, it was learned that other farming techniques could have been used to mitigate the impacts of the drought. But it’s disingenuous to say the dust bowl was man made.
