Mostly, the death rate goes way up.

Back in the XIX Century, if you broke your foot you had a good chance of dying. You couldn’t do things like hunt or plough. Childhood diseases took the lives of many children just for one to become an adult. Life was brutal and frequently short.

The Great Depression caused the loss of a lot of farms because they were heavily indebted to eastern banks, plus problems with the gold standard.

If you had a general collapse of society, banks aren’t going to be a problem, and someone with a whole section of land will no longer need to farm the whole thing to feed a single family.
