Before the Great Depression, rural people were already in deep distress due to a combination of factors, including falling agricultural prices, widespread debt, and severe droughts, particularly during the Dust Bowl. Many farmers faced financial ruin as crop yields diminished and costs rose, leading to increased foreclosures and loss of land. Additionally, overproduction during the 1920s had already strained rural economies, leaving families struggling to make ends meet long before the broader economic collapse occurred. These conditions created a precarious situation that set the stage for even greater hardships during the Depression.
