Farmers struggled during thr 1920s-and almost half of all American people were involved in farming. Tractors, combine harvesters and other new machines helped farmers to produce more foods. however, farmers ended up producing a surplus of food. as a result, food proces dropped. many small farmers found themselves with a lower income and had difficulty keeping up their morage repayments. some were evicted, others were forced to sell their land. farm labourers also found themselves out of wor, and drifted to towns or to California. where there was the promise of work on fruit farms.

Supply was increasing due to improved methods for farming and the return of farmers from the war. Additionally, demand was fallen severely because WWI had ended and food was no longer needed to be shipped for the effort.

Following the end of World War I, the call for large crops ended as the U.S. was no longer attempting to feed troops at war. The loss of the sale to the government caused prices to drop significantly.

Farming changed in the 1920's and 1930's because there was more mechanization, causing reduced labor, and people traveling to the suburban and urban areas.
