词条 | Agricultural Adjustment Administration |
释义 | Agricultural Adjustment Administration United States history ![]() Although benefit payments to farmers totaled $1,500,000,000 by 1936, a rise in commodity prices was attributable mainly to severe drought conditions in 1933–36. In spite of its limited achievements, the early AAA program was favoured by most farmers. The Supreme Court declared the act unconstitutional in 1936, and Congress passed new agricultural legislation two years later based on the soil-conservation concept. While farmers' cash income doubled between 1932 and 1936, it took the enormous demands of World War II to reduce the accumulated farm surpluses and to increase farm income significantly. |
