Why were tenant farmers evicted from their land during the 1930s?

Tenant farmers were evicted from their land during the 1930s primarily due to the economic hardships of the Great Depression, which led to widespread poverty and a drop in agricultural prices. Many landlords, facing their own financial difficulties, chose to evict tenants who were unable to pay rent or meet their obligations. Additionally, agricultural policies, such as those implemented by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), aimed to reduce crop production, further exacerbating the situation for tenant farmers. This combination of economic strain and changing agricultural policies resulted in mass evictions across rural America.
