Question

Which of these had the BIGGEST impact on Georgia’s agriculture?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D, The Great Depression, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The Stock Market Crash of the year 1929 was the inception of the Economic Depression in the history of the United States. The economy of the south including Georgia was badly hit by the Great Depression. Georgia saw the failure of cotton in the decades of the 1910's and 1920's which meant even before the depression of 1929. In the year 1929, when the whole stock market collapsed, the prices of various commodities as well as agricultural goods fell as well. The shock destroyed the agricultural economy of Georgia because farmers could no longer expect high prices for their crops.
