Question 19 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

Who did not benefit from New Deal programs designed to assist the agriculture industry?

Answer
A
tenant farmers
B
commercial farmers
C
cotton farmers
D
owners of small, family-run farms

Explanation

New Deal farm programs such as the Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid landowners to reduce crop production. Because payments generally went to landowners, many tenant farmers and sharecroppers received little or no benefit and could even lose their land or jobs. So tenant farmers did not benefit as much as the other groups listed.
