Life during the 1930s when the land blew away in great clouds of dust and no one could get a job so many families went to bed without a meal; when there was no social net to catch families before they lost their homes and became destitute; when everything had to be sold cheap or no one could buy it; during those days, people, many people in the rural areas, did not have to worry about paying the electric bill since they didn't have electricity.But as a trade off, those rural families did have access to food. They could grow their food whereas city families could not and suffered in other ways that rural communities did not suffer.
