Summary of Historic Dust Bowl Films DVD Series: Disc One: The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) & Rain For The Earth (1937) Which Focus On Dust Bowl Farming History

The Dust Bowl is an important piece of American history that had many contributing factors, such as The Great Depression, poor farming practices, and the promise of wealth. Farmers moved to the Midwest in search of arable land and set up huge wheat and grain farms. Things worked out fine for a few years, but eventually the lack of water resources and the overworking of the field led the entire region to be dominated by large clouds of dust or dust storms. Almost all of the pioneer farmers, despite aid from the US government, were forced to migrate from the Great Plains of the Midwest. Table of Contents: (1) The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) - This film is part of the 1999 National Film Registry of "artistically, culturally, and socially significant" films. It takes a realistic look at how farming in the Midwest turned the land into an uninhabitable cloud of dust, later coined "The Dust Bowl" - 25 minutes (2) Rain For The Earth (Incomplete ~ No Ending) (1937) - Discusses the desperation that the drying land caused the Dust Bowl farmers and their families and the US government's failed attempts to help them maintain their farms - 10 minutes (3) Farmers War Against Dust; Fight To Save Wheat Crops (1937) - Newsreel footage of the farmers struggle against dust in the Midwest sponsored by an engine company who claims that their new engine and well drilling system will save the farmers of the Midwest 1 ? minutes
