I NEED HELP I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLEIEST

The rain-starved plains posed special problems. Farmers there suffered not only from the Great Depression but also from their lands literally blowing away. Luckily, Roosevelt had a top-notch adviser. Hugh Hammond Bennett was a high official in the Department of Agriculture and an expert in soil science. Fear that America was losing its fertile soil through erosion and wasteful farming methods made him a champion of soil conservation. Eventually known as "the father of soil conservation," Bennett was ahead of his time. For years, he had warned about the dangers of sodbusting and destroying native grasses.
