In the story to kill a mockingbird Why would country people be the one suffer the most

During the Great Depression, food prices dropped dramatically, which adversely affected farmers, who made their living producing natural food products on their farms. Farmers responded by producing more and more food in order to pay their debts, which resulted in overproduction and kept the prices of food at an all-time low.

The country people would be the ones to suffer most because it caused them to be unable to grow crops, and that is how they payed for the things they couldn't use money for.
