How was agriculture a problem in the economy?

Answer:
In the early 1900's many farmers were overproducing which meant they were flooding the economy with their goods. Farmers were then slowly decreasing the price of their goods so that the government had to intervene with groups such as The Agricultural Adjustment Act, which paid farmers not to farm. Agriculture was, back then, a major part of the economy.
