During the Great Depression crop prices did what?
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? :)

Why did cowboys choose to go on long cattle drives following the civil war?
Those were jobs that were available. There was lots of demand back east in restaurants for beef, the cattle were raised out west far from the few western railroads, so it was necessary to hire cowboys to drive the cattle all the way from the range to the railroad. Within about 10 years the railroads expanded and went directly to where the cattle were raised and the age of cowboys and long cattle drives came to an end. The cowboys lost their jobs.
