Deflation hurt farmers because they were unable to get a good amount of money for their crops. This meant it was harder to make a living.
Labor unrest and violence engulfed the nation. Most farmers of the late 1800s were debtors, meaning they owed money. These farmers were hurt by deflation because it meant that their debt must be paid in money worth more than the money borrowed.

The new deal hurt farmers because it put many farmers in debt and there were many droughts causing the crops to be destroyed. Since the crops were destroyed, the farmers couldn't make money and turned poor.

It hurt them because there was not enough money to buy food and crops. Also because of droughts. Because of droughts there was very dry ground and farmers could not plant anymore crops because the ground had no nutriments in it so there was no way there could be anything for the farmers to do. that's what hurt farmers at that time.
A crop lien system forced them to borrow money against their fall harvests, thus keeping them in continual debt. As well, a mini-Depression was already mounting. Deflation coupled with high operating costs forced many farmers into bankruptcy and many lost the "home farm" that had been in the family for many generations.
