This photograph shows a farmer shoveling dust from implements and uncovering food for livestock. The dust began to blow in 1933 and for four years western Kansas was part of the "Dust Bowl".
Date: Between 1934 and 1936
This image effectively illustrates the barrenness of fields that had once been fruitful and allows students to understand the severity of the Dust Bowl.
