Mainly their lack of erosion-countering methods such as crop rotation, fallowing fields, and cover cropping. The most common tillage method was plowing, which left the soil completely exposed to the power of the wind, especially during and following the drought that started in 1934. It is now believed that the dustbowl conditions created even helped to continue the drought, because incoming weather systems simply evaporated over the dry countryside.
The enclosure movement taught farmers to consolidate scattered strips of land into larger, more efficiently managed fields. By enclosing their land, farmers could increase agricultural productivity and improve crop yields. However, this process often led to the displacement of small farmers and the concentration of land ownership in the hands of wealthier landowners.

The enclosure movement taught farmers to fence land earmarked for grazing and cultivation.
Ranchers preferred open grazing land and depended on large land areas for livestock, whereas farmers needed fenced land for crops and irrigation. This difference in land use led to competition for resources like water and land in the Great Plains.
During the 1930s, environmental changes in the form of drought and dust storms, known as the Dust Bowl, devastated farmers living on the Great Plains. The lack of rainfall, coupled with poor farming practices that stripped the land of its natural vegetation, led to crop failures and soil erosion. Many farmers were forced to abandon their land and livelihoods, causing widespread economic hardship and migration.
Low crops, poverty.
Farmers in Massachusetts fell into financial straights after the Revolutionary War. The problems that came along with the debts they owed creditors led to Shay's rebellion.
The dust bowl led to depression. For many people.
The severe dust storms during the Dust Bowl era led to crop failures, soil erosion, and a decline in agricultural productivity. This resulted in widespread unemployment, food scarcity, and a decrease in farm incomes. The economic problems were exacerbated by the forced migration of farmers and the increased reliance on government aid programs.
Money issues, considering the nation had suffered through a serious depression, the Panic of 1893.

Type your answer here... Led an armed uprising of about 1200 farmers on a federal arsenal?
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.
