How did the Agricultural Adjustment Act help farmers?

Asked by Clifford938

Answer (3)

This act reduced and controlled farm production, causing prices to rise. The AAA paid farmers to produce less. In 1933, for instance 6 millions piglets were destroyed - but the meat was canned and given to unemployed. Between 1932 and 1939, the income of farmers more than doubled. Many people criticised the Act, saying that this was unjustified government interference in the free market.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 was designed to help farmers by reducing crop production to raise commodity prices during the Great Depression. It provided subsidies to farmers for not planting certain crops, leading to a significant increase in farm income for many. However, it also caused hardships for tenant farmers and sharecroppers who were often displaced as landowners received payments.
