When you get ready to purchase an air filter, buy one that has a filter that you can clean yourself. The lesser expensive ones require frequent filter replacements at about $45 each. Ugh!
I purchased my air filter from Sharper Image, which I think now is no longer in business. However, I'm sure these same room air filters are available other places. The filter is chrome and you just wipe the dust off with a soft damp cloth. If there is anything 'sticky' on it, you can even take it to the bathtub and run it under running water, let it dry before re-installing, or even use a hair dryer on it. What you pay for the unit upfront saves lots of money in the end replacing paper filters every month.
Just Google 'room air filters' and you will no doubt finds lots to choose from.
I know what you mean about dirt roads. I have a gravel drive on the side of my house, and that raises lots of dust too! Even beyond that we have LOTS of pollen here from pine and oak trees every spring. The dust on the deck and patio looks totally orange...  I'm forever blowing this off and hosing down to keep the pollen settled and forced into the ground.
I do hope you are having some pleasant weather this week... we are here in California, though will be back to winter weather... cold, windy and rainy... next week.
