The Great Depression Begins

 Which group of people suffered more than any other due to the Great Depression?

 FARMERS


No industry suffered as much as agriculture
Farmers took out loans for land and equipment to meet the demands of World War I.
When the war ended, a surplus of crops caused prices to decrease
Farmers defaulted on bank loans
Banks foreclosed on farms
Rural banks failed
