The best way to manage soil to prevent a situation like the dust bowl is to employ soil conservation practices, such as crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and proper irrigation management. These practices help maintain soil structure, reduce erosion, conserve moisture, and promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms. Additionally, using organic farming practices and minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can also help maintain soil health and prevent degradation. Regular testing of soil health and fertility can also help farmers make informed decisions about soil management practices.
