How did people survive during the dirty thirties?

During the Dirty Thirties, a period marked by severe drought and economic hardship in North America, many people survived through resourcefulness and community support. Farmers adapted by diversifying crops, practicing soil conservation techniques, and participating in government relief programs. Families often relied on barter systems and shared resources with neighbors to cope with food shortages. Additionally, many migrated to other regions in search of work, particularly to areas less affected by the drought.
