Answer 1

Answer: established farm cooperatives for purchasing and distributing surplus crops.

Explanation: The Federal Farm Board was established by the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1929 from the Federal Farm Loan Board to help farmers stabilize prices by buying and holding surplus grain and cotton in storage. The federal farm board was not successful because the slide in prices of farm produce was so great the Federal Farm Board did not have enough money to keep buying surpluses.
