Roosevelt's Hundred Days

Question 7 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

How did the New Deal policy of loaning money to farmers help create higher prices for farm goods?

Answer
A
It permitted farmers to buy land, thus raising prices on crops grown there.
B
It permitted farmers to invest money, thus relieving them of the need to work.
C
It permitted farmers to produce fewer farm goods, thus raising prices.
D
It permitted farmers to produce more farm goods, thus raising prices.

Explanation

The New Deal made loans available to farmers so they could reduce production without immediately losing their farms. Producing fewer goods reduced the supply of farm products; when supply fell, prices could rise. Therefore, the correct choice is “It permitted farmers to produce fewer farm goods, thus raising prices.”
