Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The resulting agricultural depression contributed to the Great Depression’s bank closures, business losses, increased unemployment, and other physical and emotional hardships.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crops began to fail with the onset of drought in 1931, exposing the bare, over-plowed farmland.
