Dropping farm prices in the 1950s and lack of support.
1952 resulted in a substantial swing from the Democrats to Eisenhower for several reasons, not the least were his personality and high regard. These positive feelings were somewhat dissipated by 1956 in these states, and the margins were reduced somewhat (though Eisenhower won most of them by comfortable margins). But low farm prices cost the Republicans heavily in the 1958 midterms, and they remained in a significant minority in Congress for years to come.
