During the great depression, a large area in the mid-section of the united states was called the dust bowl because:
O farmers were doing so well, their high profits left everyone else's in the "dust".
O a famous businessman named dustin dustworthy owned most of the land there.
O a football bowl game took place there sponsored by the cleaning product, endust.
O huge dust storms occurred because of the dry conditions of the land, due to a long lasting drought.
