It has been 80 years since the Great Plains drought of 1931 to 38 that resulted in the great migration. Today this same land is experiencing a drought of equal severity. However there is no Farmstead Act and the Prairies never recovered from the the Dust Bowl SO there are far fewer people living here today.
