More and more land was cleared for farming during this time.

There were many years of drought during this time.
C
Dust storms blew away topsoil during this time.
D
Many farmers moved to California during this time.

Explanation

As the Great Plains population grew, more people settled there and demand for farmland increased. This led to more land being cleared and plowed for farming. Drought and dust storms occurred later, especially during the 1930s, while migration to California was a response to those conditions.
