AHC: The Dust Bowl creates a new American desert

See to it that the plains do not recover from the Dust Bowl as it did in OTL and the plains remain an unfarmable/semiunfarmable desert.

Basically its not going to happen. The primary reason for the dust bowl was drought, the secondary bad farming practices. The rains WOULD return and the farmers learned better tilling methods. Nobody, but nobody wanted a return to the dust bowl.

Could we get a (semi) permanent drought of that kind? Sure, we may even be headed there with global warming. But humanity simply didnt have THAT big an effect on the climate then.

I was wondering if a prevention of the land conservation techniques used to recover from the Dust Bowel could be prevented and this extend it.
