Small farmers.
Federal subsidies became a cornerstone of farm policy. Many small farmers were forced from their land. Sharecroppers were hurt by the policy of domestic allotment.
Some of the hardships that farmers had to face were railroads charging excessive prices for farmers in the West to ship/store crops than those in the East, the price of crops was decreasing, and farmers had to mortgage their land to buy more property, which the banks would foreclose. Does this help?
It hurt the farmers by flooding their fields and the farmers never knew when to plant their crops............. it helped farmers by giving them a close irragation and transportation system for watering their crops and trading their crops for materials and other foods that they didn't have.This is how the flooding of the rivers helped and hurt farmers.
Southern farmers, because sales of cotton would go down
Prices for in-demand cash crops are set in commodity markets. Therefore, small farmers relying of the crop will suffer low prices if a bumper crop is in excess elsewhere.

In the movie "Grapes of Wrath," technology hurt tenant farmers by leading to an oversupply of agricultural products, which brought down prices and reduced their income. Additionally, modern farming machinery displaced many workers, leaving them without jobs and pushing them further into poverty.
Deflation hurt farmers because they were unable to get a good amount of money for their crops. This meant it was harder to make a living.
A main goal of both the Granger and Populist movements was to place controls on monopolistic businesses. Farmers complained that railroads and farm product storage companies (such as grain companies) used the fact that they were large, powerful companies to increase their prices beyond what was considered fair. Railroad companies, for example, frequently monopolized the rail business in the areas in which they owned track. The high prices hurt farmers and caused the retail prices of the farm goods to be high as well, thus hurting other Americans. Thus, the Granger and Populist movements pressured the state and federal governments to regulate railroad rates and break up industrial monopolies.

The new deal hurt farmers because it put many farmers in debt and there were many droughts causing the crops to be destroyed. Since the crops were destroyed, the farmers couldn't make money and turned poor.
One way in which tariffs hurt farmers was by limiting their export markets. A tariff, simply defined, is a tax that is imposed on exports or imports.
It hurt them because there was not enough money to buy food and crops. Also because of droughts. Because of droughts there was very dry ground and farmers could not plant anymore crops because the ground had no nutriments in it so there was no way there could be anything for the farmers to do. that's what hurt farmers at that time.
