Following World War I, farm production was down in Europe, in the United States President Hoover encouraged the farmers to step up production. Prices increased and farmers used credit to purchase more land and equipment to take advantage. However, the easy credit resulted in the crash, and prices began to plummet. The actual depression caused even more of a drop, prompting the need for government programs.
Most of them kept on farming, as it was necessary to support the troops. Others joined the military and the farms were not used.

Planes during WW1 were used as surveillance and if they wanted to drop bombs the pilot had to physically pick up a bomb and drop it. In WW2 they were used for air to air combat and could actually mechanically drop bombs.

consumer buying increases demand when the supply begins to drop the demand goes up.
Factors such as animal rights campaigns, warm winters, and a glut in the international fur market, caused fur demand to drop.
In the 70's there had been e tremendous raise in grain exports to the Soviet Union, resulting in a steady rise in grain prices, which had led to banks readily offering loans at low interest rates and to farmers investing heavily and getting heavily into debt. All this investment however led to overproduction and consequently to a drop in grain prices and then, to a drop in land values. At the same time, interest rates went up, adding to the farmer's costs while revenues went down. On top of that, as a reaction to Russia's invasion of Afganistan the US President instituted a grain embargo to the Soviet Union. That meant that a major market for US grain disappeared overnight. The Russians started buying their grain elsewhere, meaning that even after the embargo was lifted US farmers could not realize anything like their former export volumes or prices.
