Good but two things: 1) It was a myth that the model t ford was only made in black, it says so in our text books. 2) Farmers did badly for numerous reasons, one of the least important, if at all classed as a reason is prohibition. You should be writing about Europe no longer wanting produce after WW1 and competition from Canada and machinery taking men's jobs and overproduction! Apart from that excellent :)
