Agriculture has always been an important component in Georgia (then and now). It is said that in 1900, when Franklin Roosevelt started his New Deal programs, the "sharecropping system" was disrupted in the state. This kind of system allowed the farmers who had no lands to work for wealthy people with farms in order to produce crops. At the end of every season, the farmers would be given payment for their agricultural labor.
Part of the New Deal program was the so-called "Agricultural Adjustment Act." <u>This law limited the farmer's production of crops and in return they will be given some subsidies.</u> <em>This act was enacted in order to prevent the overproduction of crops in the area. </em>Limiting the production would increase the crops' prices.
Thus, this decreased the need for hiring farmers into the wealthy people's vast farms.
