From the Paper:

"The Farm Crisis Some of the most famous images in photographic history captured farmers and their families as weather-beaten stick figures amid the swirl of dust on the eroded plains of America in the 1930s. For them, the Great Depression was not something that hit them after the 1929 stock market crash it had already hounded them since the end of World War I in 1919. The return of Europeans to the farms after the war explains some of it, but mostly U.S. farmers were caught in a cycle of trends that lead to overproduction and plummeting prices."
