The Farmer's Plight During The Great Depression

1. AAA (Agriculture Adjustment Act) helped to improve the buying power of farmers. This plan involved reducing the surplus crops that farmers previously produced. This increased the price of crops and therefore, some farmers were able to make a decent living during the Great Depression.

2. Farmers' had to sell their crops for a very low price to an impoverished Government and Public due to the Great Depression. therefore, they themselves were living in extreme poverty just like the rest of America.

3. FSA (Farm Security Administration) worked to improve the living condition of sharecroppers and poor landowning framers who had been displaced by the Dust bowl. The administration sought to educate farmers and provide them with homes and land in order to make them more self-sufficient. This program ultimately helped thousands of farmers recover from the Dust bowl disaster.

4. The majority of crops in the middle states were destroyed due to unusually dry weather and large amounts of wind erosion on the soil. This caused the displacement of millions of farmers as they moved from the middle states and scattered to the east and west coast.
