During the Great Depression, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) implemented policies to reduce crop production in order to raise agricultural prices and stabilize the economy. Farmers were paid to not grow certain crops, which aimed to decrease surplus and increase demand. This strategy was part of the New Deal efforts to support struggling farmers and improve their financial situation. The payments provided farmers with much-needed income during a time of severe economic hardship.

President Roosevelt helped farmers during the Great Depression by giving financial assistance to them. The Tennessee Valley Authority was also launched in 1933.
He had never known economic hardship.
In the 1920s, American farmers experienced an early depression due to a significant drop in agricultural prices following World War I. Increased production during the war led to a surplus after demand decreased, resulting in falling income for farmers and widespread economic hardship in rural areas. This economic distress contributed to broader economic issues that culminated in the Great Depression at the end of the decade.
