Why was the farming industry not as prosperous
as other industries during the early 1920s?

The origins were both political and structural. Agricultural exports to Europe exploded during the Great War, and even this was not enough to keep up with demand. Corn, wheat, and cotton all hit very high prices, and this encouraged new tilling, new growing, and most importantly new borrowing. With a postwar price collapse came a rural financial collapse as well.
