Millions of acres of farmland becoming unusable for years had a significant impact on the socioeconomic status of the Midwest. The decrease in available farmland led to a decrease in agricultural productivity and income for farmers in the region. Additionally, the decrease in flood mitigation efforts in neighboring states may have contributed to future flooding events and further economic consequences for the affected communities. The elimination of floodplains to avoid future flooding may have also had long-term economic effects on the region. Ultimately, the Great Flood of 1993 had negative impacts on the socioeconomics of the Midwest.
