The Great Depression and Farming
• Recession from the World War I drops the market price of goods so farmers have to produce more to avoid losing profit
• To meet the demand, farmers buy more land and invest in expensive agricultural equipment– Debt
• Stock Market crash (1929) => banks close• banks collect debts => farmers lose property• farms close => displaced workers
