Drainage.

Water can come in large amounts based on rainfall and sudden and intense storms and this water will collect in low places on land that is flat. Digging ditches that give the water a channel lower than the level of the field can provide a level of drainage to minimize damage from flooding. However, this is not to be taken as a "cure all" for the devastation of a sudden flooding storm or potential infrastructure damage as in the case of a break in an irrigation canal. Planning and strategy come into play in farming much more than most city people might think. ;)

How was agriculture a problem in the economy?

In the early 1900's many farmers were overproducing which meant they were flooding the economy with their goods.

Agriculture was, back then, a major part of the economy.
