The best way to manage soil to prevent a situation like the Dust Bowl is to allow plants such as grass to root in it. This helps in maintaining soil stability and preventing erosion. It also promotes the growth of roots that hold the soil together and increase the organic matter content, which improves the soil's ability to absorb and retain water. Removing humus from the soil and frequently digging the soil can disrupt the soil structure and lead to soil erosion. Additionally, watering the soil frequently without proper drainage can cause waterlogging and nutrient leaching, which can also contribute to soil degradation.
