<em>Hello, The agricultural adjustment act was created to assist farmers by reducing crop productions, and in so doing reducing export surpluses, and raising crop prices. During the short existence of the act, the administration achieved its goal, as there was reduction in crop supply and prices rose. While most Americans enjoyed relative prosperity for most of the 1920s, the Great Depression for the American farmer really began after World War I. Much of the Roaring '20s was a continual cycle of debt for the American farmer, stemming from falling farm prices and the need to purchase expensive machinery. Hope That Helps!</em>
