[AT] 1935-1940 Dust Bowl

That same thing really got my attention.  I think many of the pictures 
were even after WWII.  Makes you wonder just how accurate the whole 
thing is.  I don't think Ken Burns has any ag background and probably 
wasn't making this show for farmers.  The survivors that are on the show 
are telling it like it was, I think.  It seems to be a pretty good 
documentary.   One thing for sure...Mister Roosevelt is gonna save us all!
