Agriculture Changes as a Result of the Crisis (18) | 1980s Farm Crisis

Commercial agriculture is changed as a result of the farm crisis. This segment is part of the documentary The Farm Crisis, which examines the tragic circumstances faced by farmers for most of the 1980s, when thousands were forced into bankruptcy, land values dropped by one-third nationally, and sky-high interest rates turned successes into failures seemingly overnight.
