1. They had to deal with locusts. Locusts were a type of grasshopper that would be able to destroy any crops they pass by for food.
2. There was a drought. There was a drought all over North America and it obviously affected farmers because it was much harder for them to grow crops.
3. The market crashed. They were only able to sell the little crops they had for a fraction of what they got per kilogram before the great depression.
