They didn't because they weren't focused on it. It was the age of technological advancement, industry, wild parties and rich city slickers. The so called roaring twenties. Everyone was focused on factories and development that they didn't pay attention to the farmers.
Most of the laws or rules they came up with were based off of what they interpreted from the bible. and were "god given rights" that they were allowed to have or do. even if they weren't necessarily right.
