The Agricultural Adjustment Act, passed in 1933, created the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA). The AAA is an example of both recovery and reform. It followed Keynesian ideals by paying farmers money to leave plots empty and killed off food surplus to increase demand and price for farming products, helping farmers recover from crises. The AAA is also an example of reform because it set the maximum output of some farming products to prevent future depressions and set precedent in government's role in agriculture planning.
