Agricultural overproduction was a problem, and falling agricultural prices only made this problem worse. In order to cope with falling prices and lower incomes, farmers tried to expand production even more. Their point of view was simple- they could maintain their overall income by pumping in more produce into the market. Naturally, this led to even more oversupply and pushed prices down even further.
