Great Plains farmers were pushed to leave their lands and migrate to California primarily due to:

C. difficult conditions brought on by a severe drought.

During the 1930s, the Great Plains experienced a devastating period of drought, wind erosion and economic depression known as the Dust Bowl. These harsh environmental conditions severely impacted agriculture, leading many farmers to abandon their lands in search of better opportunities, with California being one of the destinations due to its more favorable climate and promises of work in various industries.
