The “Dustbowl” lasted 10 years and was a significant contributor to the “Great Depression”. I’m not sure that is your best example or relevant to the current situation as drought is only one of the contributing factors to further price increases and the “fix” was entirely different.
More details of the Dustbowl here with lots of citations at the end if you want to dive deeper.

Of course, he Great Depression turned around as USA geared up for WWII though...maybe that is more relevant looking ahead to 2024 or so...
Just pointing out that the left are trying to exp.oit a drought and make it seem doom and gloom for the beef industry when it likely will be just a temporary issue. The depression. Was much more severe, and food prices and beef prices rebounded fine. The left are on a crusade to force people to stop eating meat, claiming cattle are causing climate change, and they seem I explicitly giddy when stories like this attack the industry.
I’m more concerned about China buying farmland all over the US than I am about a temporary drought which we’ve been through many times before.
