Question 5 • LHS Oklahoma History

Which New Deal program planted shelterbelts in Oklahoma to reduce the risk of a future Dust Bowl?

Answer
A
the Environmental Protection Agency
B
the Civilian Conservation Corps
C
the Agricultural Adjustment Agency
D
the Farm Security Administration

Explanation

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) carried out conservation projects during the New Deal, including planting trees in shelterbelts across the Great Plains. These rows of trees helped slow the wind and reduce soil erosion, lowering the risk of another Dust Bowl. The Agricultural Adjustment Agency focused mainly on farm production and prices, not shelterbelt planting.
