USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -As the demand for wheat products grew, cattle grazing was reduced, and millions more acres were plowed and planted. Dry land farming on the Great Plains led to the systematic destruction of the prairie grasses. In the ranching regions, overgrazing also destroyed large areas of grassland.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Great Depression, which started in 1929 and continued into the 1930’s, was a time of food scarcity. Frugality and practicality outweighed cultural relevancy, which led to a lot of dishes that were less about heritage and more about scraping together whatever ingredients were easily accessible and filling.

Detailed explanation-3: -The value of farm produce, declined by half while the land rent to be paid by the peasants remained unchanged. In terms of prices of agricultural commodities, the obligation of the farmers to the state doubled. Farmers and Indian manufacturers therefore had to sell their gold and silver reserves to subsist.
