Prohibition, enacted in the 1920s, significantly impacted farmers by reducing the demand for certain crops, particularly grains like corn and barley, which were commonly used in alcohol production. As breweries and distilleries shut down, farmers faced falling prices and decreased income, exacerbating their economic struggles. Additionally, the loss of a market for these crops led to overproduction in other areas, further destabilizing agricultural prices and contributing to the broader economic challenges of the Great Depression.
