Seems to me that the amount of farming between Phoenix and Tucson is one of the reasons for the severity of the dust. Instead of hard desert crust the winds are blowing over miles and miles of tilled soil that turns to dust at the slightest sign of atmospheric disturbance. We have a lot of farmland still out where I work and live. In fact right next to our office is about a square mile of farmland. Even without wind the dust is incredible whenever any kind of truck, tractor or combine goes near it. Still, I rather like being amongst farm fields. Nicer than endless urban sprawl. I just wish the storms would hit us as well from time to time. With rain I mean, not just dust.
