That was the Dust Bowl.
Farmers were severely affected during the Dust Bowl as their crops were destroyed, leading to widespread crop failures and economic hardship. The soil erosion caused by the dust storms also damaged farmland and reduced agricultural productivity, forcing many farmers to abandon their land and livelihoods.
During the Great Depression, great plain plains farmers were severely affected by drought, dust storms, falling crop prices, and inability to repay debts. Many farmers lost their land due to foreclosure, while others struggled to make a living. The combination of economic challenges and environmental disasters led to widespread poverty and displacement in the region.
Full-time farmers are commonly referred to as agribusiness professionals or commercial farmers.
The steel plow had just been invented and it ripped through the top soil and grass. This made the earth and soil VERY loose. The dirt created the dust bowl, because all over farmers were buying the steel plows, they were less work. During the dust bowl dust and soil covered EVERYTHING in the south. The farmers couldn't hardly keep anything they planted alive because it would be covered in dirt. Dust storms killed alot of crop and covered not only crop but houses. So it affected farmers by killing crop. At lease if the farmers were in the south it did. They could not pay their loans or afford to buy basics.

Hailstones, particularly the large ones, or a heavy down-pour of pea-sized hail, can tear through and even rip the leaves off the plants, and can even slice through thick stems like that of canola or mustard, leaving crops dead or severely damaged. With damaged crops, especially severely damaged ones where there is literally nothing left, there are very little to no yields for a producer to harvest and make money off of. Most often hail-damaged crops are better off being used as livestock fodder (like silage) or for crop-residue grazing for cattle than an actual cash-crop.
