This article examines the interrelationship between environmental and political change on the Great Plains during the Great Depression. It illustrates how ecological change initiated in one farming community's fields, first by the Great Depression and then by the New Deal's Soil Conservation Service, had economic, social, and political influence beyond the farmers' fencerows, and ultimately reoriented local citizens toward the federal government
