Dust storms not as bad as black blizzards says expert
Washington dust expert Dr Bennett of the Agriculture Department says midwestern dust storms may not reach the severity of the black blizzards. He cites better farming practices, soil conservation help, and government support as factors in coping with high winds and soil loss. He notes extensive grassland loss and wheat production incentives as aggravating factors, and that much soil appears to be blowing from highway right of way rather than farms.
