During the 1920s, american farmers as a group did what?

Last year, when I studied American history I read in the text book about how famers did not "experience the prosperity of the decade."

During a dinner conversation, I mentioned this fact to my grandfather; and he told me that his grandfather said that my great grandfather's  farm did well during the 1920's,  but it never made any money during the 1930's. The breadwinner for the farm was Angus Cattle in Southeast Missouri.  Of course, I thought cattle came from Texas, California, and Wyoming; but that is another over simplification.

If the farm had not made money in the 1920's, my great grandfather would have lost the farm, like in The Grapes of Wrath, in the 1930's.

Maybe farmers prospered less than other people in the 1920's, but maybe they prospered more than farmers in the 1930's. To have a real undestanding of the facts, it might be worth further study.

 Hope it helps

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.  

interest groups send representatives to state capitals and to washington, d.c. to put pressure on members of congress and other policymakers. they engage in lobbying, or the organized process of influencing legislation or policy. lobbying can take many forms. interest groups can testify in congressional hearings.
