The Dust Bowl of the 1930s remains one of the clearest reminders of why caring for our soil and working lands matters. Years of damaging agricultural practices, combined with severe drought, stripped away fertile topsoil across the Great Plains and devastated farms and rural communities.
In this short video, narrated by Iowa Representative and four-time Paralympian Josh Turek, we revisit this important chapter in American history and the lessons it taught about soil conservation and responsible land stewardship.
For the Logan County Land Trust, those lessons remain relevant today. Protecting productive farmland is about more than preserving acres—it is about caring for the land so it can continue supporting agriculture, families, and our community for generations to come.
