Roosevelt, familiar with Georgia’s economy through his frequent visits to Warm Springs, proposed the AAA within his first 100 days of office. The act passed both houses of Congress in 1933 with the unanimous support of Georgia senators and representatives. In essence, the law asked farmers to plant only a limited number of crops. If the farmers agreed, then they would receive a federal subsidy. The subsidies were paid for by a tax on the companies that processed the crops. By limiting the supply of target crops—specifically, corn, cotton, milk, peanuts, rice, tobacco, and wheat—the government hoped to increase crop prices and keep farmers financially afloat.
The AAA successfully increased crop prices. National cotton prices increased from 6.52 cents/pound in 1932 to 12.36 cents/pound in 1936. The price of peanuts, another important Georgia crop, increased from 1.55 cents/pound in 1932 to 3.72 cents/pound in 1936. These gains were not distributed equally, however, among all Georgia's farmers. Subsidies were distributed to landowners, not to sharecroppers, who were abundant in Georgia. When the landlords left their fields fallow, the sharecroppers were put out of work. Some landowners, moreover, used the subsidies to buy efficient new farming equipment. This led to even more sharecroppers being put out of work because one tractor, for example, could do the job of many workers.
In 1936 the Supreme Court struck down the AAA, finding that it was illegal to tax one group—the processors—in order to pay another group—the farmers. Despite this setback, the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 had set the stage for nearly a century of federal crop subsidies and crop insurance. In 1936 Congress enacted the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, which helped maintain production controls by offering payment to farmers for trying new crops, such as soybeans. Crop insurance was included in the new Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, which paid subsidies from general tax revenues instead of taxes on producers.
The legacy of crop subsidies and crop insurance continues well into the twenty-first century. In 2012 the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent more than $14 billion insuring farmers against the loss of crop or income. In 2014, 2.86 million acres of farmland were insured in Georgia. Cotton, peanuts, and soybeans are the most insured crops in the state by acreage, and more than 95 percent of Georgia's peanut, cotton, and tobacco acreage was insured in 2014
