Dust Bowl Lessons

A show recently caught on PBS’s American Experience about the Dust Bowl of the 1930′s really brought home relevant thoughts about lessons perhaps lightly learned at the time. Perhaps we need a bit of a history lesson an revisit of what happened then due to bad farming practices. Further, it is with some irony that one has to consider the big picture here, as the government stepped in with better practices and suggestions about limited scope in the 1930′s – since the 1970′s the say get big or get out.

I am going to begin this blog with some historical re-posting several blog entries I have made on my much more mainstreamed blog over at Mephistos. I find, while looking at those post from so long ago, that I feel even stronger about the topic today then I did those months or in some cases even years ago. A few of them will have some new comments added to the context, others will be verbatim, short of some grammar and picture updates. In addition, I will be posting some new posts interspersed within those old posts that I am revisiting. One last thing and then I will include the old post of yester-year, I intend to have a post every day for the month of April and will often time use the very appropriate theme of Growing from the NaBlaPoMo.
