Answer:
What was the economic effect of the Great Depression on America's farmers? Farmers grew more and more crops despite drought conditions. Farmers could not pay taxes or repay money they had borrowed. Farmers stripped away natural grasses that held the soil in place. Those farmers that agreed to limit production were paid a subsidy. Most farmers signed up eagerly and soon government checks were flowing into rural mail boxes where the money could help pay bank debts or tax payments.
