Question

Which explains the reason for the farm crisis following World War I? (1 point)

A. U.S. factories shut down at a rapid rate, and factories' need for cotton and other crops diminished.
B. Production of food in Europe increased, and European countries' need to purchase U.S. food supplies decreased.
C. The population decreased dramatically after the war, and the demand for food production at high levels had lessened.
D. U.S. land was destroyed after the war, making it impossible for farmers to produce healthy and sufficient crops.

Answer 1

B. Production of food in Europe increased, and European countries' need to purchase U.S. food supplies decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the need to purchase supplies decreased, there was less of a demand, and prices for farm goods dropped. Lowered prices mean that farmers weren't making as much money, and they needed money in order to pay back loans and mortgages.
