Following World War I, farm production was down in Europe, in the United States President Hoover encouraged the farmers to step up production. Prices increased and farmers used credit to purchase more land and equipment to take advantage. However, the easy credit resulted in the crash, and prices began to plummet. The actual depression caused even more of a drop, prompting the need for government programs.
