American farmers suffered during the 1920s primarily due to overproduction during World War I, which led to a significant drop in prices when demand decreased after the war. The introduction of new technologies and farming techniques had initially boosted production, but by the end of the decade, many farmers found themselves in debt and unable to sustain their livelihoods. Additionally, the economic policies of the time, including high tariffs and a lack of support for agricultural prices, further exacerbated their struggles. The combination of these factors ultimately contributed to widespread financial hardship in the farming sector.

Farmers faced significant challenges during the 1920s, as the decade began with a post-World War I agricultural boom that quickly turned into a bust. Overproduction led to falling crop prices, and many farmers struggled with mounting debts and costs. The economic prosperity of the Roaring Twenties largely bypassed rural America, exacerbating the plight of farmers, who often faced foreclosure and financial ruin. This discontent contributed to social and political movements advocating for agricultural reform.
