The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA), enacted in 1933 as part of the New Deal, aimed to boost agricultural prices by reducing surpluses through the payment of subsidies to farmers who limited crop production. While it succeeded in raising prices and incomes for some farmers, it also led to the displacement of many tenant farmers and sharecroppers, particularly in the Southern states, as landowners sought to reduce their workforce. Additionally, the AAA's policies often favored larger farms over smaller ones, exacerbating rural inequalities. Overall, while the AAA provided temporary relief during the Great Depression, its long-term impact on agricultural practices and rural communities was mixed.
