Explanation
New Deal farm programs helped many farmers refinance debts and avoid foreclosure, while the AAA reduced crop surpluses and helped raise prices for cotton, corn, and wheat. Soil-conservation programs promoted ways to protect land and restore soil damaged by erosion and dust storms. The Rural Electrification Administration also helped extend electrical service to farms. Farmers still had to make property payments, and tenant farmers and sharecroppers did not generally see their incomes rise as a result of these programs.
