Roosevelt's intention was to help the tenant farmers and sharecroppers to become self-supporting small farmers and there were some local successes in that the New Deal was the first federal program that concretely helped rural residents to improve their farms and homesteads. Yet the small landowner was still outdone by the larger planters who took advantage of federal funds to mechanize their farms.
