Crisis+in+the+Farm+Sector

 = = = = =**Farming Crisis** =

 After World War I many American farmers could not sell their products to European buyers because of the tariff restrictions.

The United States began to farm with more efficient machinery and higher-yielding fertilizers. Because of this there was a vast surplus in crops and livestock. Farmers competed to undersell their competitors causing prices to fall dramatically.

The dust bowl in 1933 destroyed farms and killed almost all their crops and their livestock.
