    The Agricultural Adjustment Act has two new crucial aids to society. This act had first encouraged people who were still left in farming to grow fewer crops. That way there would be less produce on the market and crop prices would rise that would benefit the farmers. This may seem crazy but some farmers were paid to destroy their crops and farm animals. That wasn't the right thing to do and it was also unconstitutional this act purpose was to help the farmers who had burdens on them by increasing their income and decreasing their taxes.

    By definition Agrarian Reforms means the “distribution of farmland to need peasant along with the government support programs such as roads, technical assistance, and lines of credit needed to make beneficiaries economically viable.(H. Handleman,pg.311). There are five arguments toward Agrarian reform, Social Justice and Equality, Political Stability, Productivity, Economic Growth, and Environmental Preservation. Many analysts agree that Social Justice and Equality is severely needed the of third world countries, because the millions of rural families who farm the land are “trapped in a web of poverty, malnutrition, and illiteracy from which few escape (H. Handleman, pg.173).” For those living in such conditions Agrarian Reform in a step toward political and socioeconomic justice. Political Stability is another argument toward Agrarian…

    As the Agricultural Adjustment Act took these actions many people began to fear that the program could be abused by farmers to create profit for themselves in expense of the government's treasury. The idea was that farmers would grow a certain crop and the government would pay them to get rid of it. The farmer would then use the money given to them by the government and buy more of that specific crop, this cycle would be repeated until the farmer would make bigger profits slowly sucking away at the government's treasury. Although this seems to be a very solid counterclaim to belittle the effectiveness of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, it was easily evaded. For example, before the farmer could receive payments from the government for getting rid of a certain crop the farmer would need to accept a voluntary contract with the government, which states that producers would need to agree to keep production levels to what the Department of Agriculture had established for them.…

    Agrarian reform was intended to deliver all peasant lands in an equitable manner so that the people would not be oppressed by those with the power (the oligarchy). But Velasco did not consider that dealings, apart from affecting the oligarchy and foreign investors, also was affecting the crops as farmers were not people who were trained to manage these vast amounts of land. Besides, having no money meant that the most of the peasants…

    The Agricultural adjustment agency was of slight significance as it, did not help to recover the nation. The idea behind Agricultural adjustment agency was to help farmers by controlling farm production and stabilising prices. It was an attempt to end the over-production and falling agricultural prices that had crippled American farmers. This however was not the case. The government paid farmers to produce less, by taking land out of the production or reducing their livestock. This resulted in less produce being produced meaning the prices were increased by nearly double. On one hand, the farmers’ income was doubled from 1933 to 1939, however on the other hand the citizens have to spend more of their money more for produce that wasn’t getting…

    During World War I, England's agricultural economy was badly damaged. This inconvenience for the English was a blessing to American farmers. Since the invention of the combine, and various other mechanical harvesting machines, American farmers could increase their crop yield. In turn they could export the extra crops to England for more money. Once England got back on it's feet, American farmers could not find any exports for their crops. As they continued to produce more than the American people could consume, the prices of agricultural goods dramatically dropped. By the 1930's many farmers were in serious need of help, with heavy farm loans and mortgages hanging over their head's. Nothing had been done to help the farmer's during The Hoover Administration. So in 1933 as part of Roosevelt's New Deal, the Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace devised a plan to limit production and increase prices. Which came to be known as the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, also known as the AAA. The AAA was established on May 12, 1933 it was the New Deal idea to assist farmers during the Great Depression. It was the first widespread effort to raise and stabilize farm prices and income. The law created and authorized the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to: Enter into voluntary agreements to pay farmers to reduce production of basic commodities ( cotton, wheat, corn, rice, tobacco, hogs, milk, etc..), to make advanced payments to farmers who stored crops on the farm, create marketing agreements between farmers and middlemen, and to levy processing taxes to pay for production adjustments and market development. Basically the AAA paid farmers to destroy their crops and livestock in return for cash. In 1933 alone cotton farmers were paid $100 million to plow over their cotton crop. Six million piglets were slaughtered by the government after they bought them from farmers. The meat was canned and given to people without jobs. In order…
