3. The Impact on farmers
Most Depressions never affected the farmers, but this time they weren't so lucky. The great depression hit them as hard as everyone else, they got hit with what's known as "The Dust Bowl" or "The Dirty Thirty's."The Dust bowl occurred because of a long and dramatic draught where farmers lived and worked. This caused the soil to go bad, no water, and dust storms. Dust storms occurred every day, if you breath in the dust you could get sick getting it in your lungs and many animals died because of this.

4. New Deal
After the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt he made it his number one goal to help the people he now has to protect and represent. In his first few days he put his plan in action, it was called "The New Deal." This plan contained many things to help both Factory workers/city folks, and also Farmers who lost there crops in the dust storms. By 1939, the New Deal had helped very many poor workers and unemployed. The programs of the New Deal "set a precedent for the federal government to play a key role in the economic and social affairs of the nation."
