The industrial revolution was quickly followed by advances in agriculture which resulted in the rapid death of this new underclass of dirt farmers Just as they had been displaced by machines in factories, they fell victim to the advances in agriculture By 1910, most of the arable land in the United States had been settled and, due to the anticipation of conservationists, methods for prevention of soil erosion began to be implemented In 1914, the Smith-Lever Act provided funding for educators to instruct farmers in farm management As a result of European postwar poverty and US overproduction, however, farmers experienced a depression lasting from 1920 to 1922 Nevertheless, Clarence Birdseye perfected a method for freezing foods which spurred farmers to diversify and produce crops which were previously too perishable to be of commercial value Then, in the early 1930s, droughts, and dust storms caused by poor farming practices, devastated farms and ranches of the Great Plains Franklin D Roosevelt's New Deal sought to satisfy the demands of striking farmers by a series of acts For instance, The Agricultural Marketing Act improved prices for producers of perishables and allowed the federal government to buy surpluses, which were donated to the poor and used in school-lunch and food-stamp programs By 1945 the prospects for farmers were bright but then wholesalers and distributors organized themselves into a network known as Agribusiness which grew to dominate the industry It held a basic monopoly of outlets and, by putting farmers under annual contracts rather than buying available merchandise, meant that by the 1960s farmers required a huge amount of money to survive
