Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933
The Agricultural Adjustment Act was the largest of many programs under the New Deal. Its main purpose was to increase farm prices up to the point of parity. It also helped farmers out alot. Farmers had too little money because they produced too much and the prices were too low. It helped the farmers by reducing production of stable crops, raising farm prices and encouraging more expanded farming. The farmers were given benefits in return for limiting acreage of stable crops. Each farmer was told how much of their land to use. The AAA helped farmers that were destroyed in the Dust Bowl.

2. What were the effects of the programs on the economy?** Supplies of seven basic crops ( corn, wheat, cotton, rice, peanuts, tobacco and milk) were controlled by the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The AAA controlled it by giving farmers payments in return for taking some of their land out of farming and not planting crops. The AAA was ruled as unconstitional in 1937 but the basic program was rewritten and passed. The AAA and related laws helped to revive hope in farm communities.
