Answer:

Agricultural Adjustment Act

Explanation:

Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) of 1933 was first enacted by President Franklin Roosevelt and it was designed to correct the imbalance. Farmers who agreed to limit production would receive “parity” payments to balance prices between farm and nonfarm products, based on prewar income levels.

The Agricultural Adjustment Administration was created to implement the law’s goals which were limiting crop production, reducing stock numbers, and refinancing mortgages with terms more favorable to struggling farmers, and it was initially headed by George Peek – a man, ironically, not overly enthusiastic about the New Deal. Farmers were paid to destroy crops and livestock, which led to depressing scenes of fields plowed under, corn burned as fuel and piglets slaughtered.  Nevertheless, many of the farm products removed from economic circulation were utilized in productive ways.  For example: “The pork products were distributed to unemployed families…Other food products purchased for surplus removal and distribution in relief channels included butter, cheese, and flour”

Why did california's desire to enter the union as a free state worry the southern states
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

California was the biggest of all new states and likely candidates to enter the Union, though it was not very populated by then. However, its population was rising fast because of the golden rush and significant immigration from the East Coast after 1848.

The Southern states, which allowed and supported slavery, were worried that the incorporation of California as a free state would alter the delicate balance of power between free states and slavery states in Congress and in general. Let´s not forget that slavery was very important to the South because its economy was agricultural and demanded a large labor force to function.
