Well, the prices for people to buy the products went up and as did the seeds needed to grow the crops. Farmers got less for the crops and so they lost money. Railroads also tied in in a way. since almost no farmers could afford to get their crops shipped to well populated cities, railroads raised their prices in attempt to get more money faster, but ultimately that failed because farmers couldn't pay for the transportation. However if the farmers could pay for the train transportation, they didn't sell very much in the cities.
Does this help? :)

During the Great Depression years, in the Dust Bowl states, located in the Great Plains, dust and dirt 'devoured' many crops leaving farmers without adequate earnings and crop yields.
What did the Great Depression effect? What was the effect of the Great Depression?
Because the Great Depression happened to coincide with the "Dust Bowl" and drought which lasted for several years causing consecutive year crop failures and bankruptcy for many farmers.
The drought in the west, known as the Dust Bowl, exacerbated the Great Depression in several ways. It led to widespread crop failures, destroyed farmland, and caused massive dust storms, which displaced many farmers and their families. These conditions worsened the economic hardship already experienced during the Great Depression, as it reduced agricultural output, caused food shortages, and created massive unemployment in rural areas.
Overproduction in the 1890s contributed to the decline in the crop prices that led to the increase in the rural poverty.
The cotton industry was one of the hardest hit during the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was said that crop prices fell by an estimated 60%. Cotton was considered a cash crop and when the stock market fell, so did the prices on cotton resulting in devastating losses.

crop prices fell, and the debts of farmers increased.
What did the Great Depression effect? What was the effect of the Great Depression?
There was a major surplus of crops during this period, but there was not a major demand. Many crops flooded the market causing a major price drop. Many farmers couldn't pay their bills and farms were repossessed. This is one of the events that led to the great depression.
