Why was the post war difficult on farmers?

The post-war period was difficult for farmers due to several factors, including falling prices for agricultural products as supply outpaced demand after wartime production surged. Many farmers faced rising costs for equipment, seeds, and fertilizers, which squeezed their profit margins. Additionally, competition from larger agribusinesses intensified, making it challenging for smaller farms to survive. Economic shifts and changes in consumer preferences further complicated their ability to adapt and thrive in a changing market.
