Media Gallery | Activism, Advocacy and Assistance during the 1980s Farm Crisis

This gallery of video clips focuses on the activism, assistance, and advocacy that was available to farmers during the 1980s farm crisis.

The Farm Crisis documentary, examines the tragic circumstances faced by farmers for most of the 1980s. Thousands were forced into bankruptcy, land values dropped by one-third nationally, and sky-high interest rates turned successes into failures seemingly overnight.
