Note that with men joining the military and workers being lured away by high-paying defense jobs, farmers were having trouble getting their crops planted, cultivated, harvested, and transported to market. Note that in World War I, there was a "Women's Land Army" that served the purpose of women (and ineligible men) volunteering for jobs normally performed by the men who were now away at war. This was revived during World War II, and part of it was the U.S. Crops Corps, which specifically focused on farming. In 1945, the movie "Song of the Open Road" was set in one of the farm camps, and they had the presence of W.C. Fields, Bergen & McCarthy, and Jane Powell to make it a major movie!
