How did poverty in urban areas create such a drop in agriculture prices that farmers let their crops rot in the field?

The price of crops isn't gaged by poverty in urban areas, but by the price that the farmer can sell the crop for. A good example of this is milk. Today in CA many dairies are selling off the cows because the price they sell milk for is too low. It costs more to feed and take care of the cows than they can get for the milk. Many would rather pour the milk down the drain rather than sell it for a lower price. It is the same with farmers and they would rather let the crop rot in the field than to sell it for a lower price.
