Farmers soon learned to plant rows of trees called shelterbelts to protect fields from erosion. Based on the text, what can the reader infer about living during the Dust Bowl?

The Dust Bowl lasted for only a single weekend in Kansas. Farmers preferred growing trees rather than crops on Kansas farmlands. Daily life was difficult because dust invaded houses despite people's efforts to block it. Families easily kept their homes clean by placing sheets over windows.
