New farm equipment did many things to urban America. Let's take a detailed look at each option:

A.New machinery contributed to soil erosion, which led to the Dust Bowl.

This did happen, however, this was due more to the lack of proper planting techniques and the decision to replant the native plants with a massive quantity of wheat.

B.New machinery led to overproduction, which led to an increase in the price of food.

According to the basic laws of economics, an overproduction of food would cause the price to decrease not increase. As a matter of fact, prices dropped so low that most farmers no longer made a profit.

C.New machinery led to new jobs for individuals such as sharecroppers.

The new machinery did lead to an increase in jobs, however, the drought caused many farms to fail and forced tens of thousands to flee towards California.

D.New machinery led to the banking crisis since farmers were unable to pay off loans.

This appears to be the only answer that properly matches with the prompt of Urban America, as a lack of income and loans on new farm equipment did bring about a banking crisis for farmers.

Therefore, the answer that best fits this question will be option D.

I hope I've helped! :)

In the 1930s, drought and dust storms were caused by the introduction of new farm equipment in several sections of the country.

Drought and dust bowls were caused by over-cultivation, which resulted in the degradation of the uppermost layer of soil and a lack of support for plant roots. It also caused dust storms in the impacted areas on occasion.

So, option A is incorrect as this was the impact of new farm equipment on urban Americans.

The other options are incorrect as:

  • Option B is incorrect as An overabundance of food, according to basic economic laws, should result in a fall in price rather than an increase. In fact, prices fell so low that most farmers could no longer make a profit.

  • Option C is incorrect as Although the new machinery resulted in an increase in jobs, the drought caused many farms to fail, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee to California.

  • Option D is incorrect as New machinery did not lead to the banking crisis.

Thus option A is correct for the following question.
