Question

which effect did the end of world war i have on u.s. agricultural production in the 1920s?
a. imported food products became less expensive to buy.
b. land values rose as agricultural profits increased.
c. overproduction of crops resulted in lower food prices.
d. buyers reduced consumption to boycott unfair tariffs.

Explanation:

During WWI, U.S. farmers expanded production to feed Allied nations. After the war, European agriculture recovered, reducing demand for U.S. crops. Farmers kept high production levels, leading to overproduction, which drove down food prices. Option A is incorrect because post-war tariffs made imported food more expensive. Option B is wrong as agricultural profits fell, lowering land values. Option D is incorrect because there was no widespread consumption boycott over tariffs related to this issue.

Answer:

C. Overproduction of crops resulted in lower food prices.
