question 7 of 10
how was the agricultural adjustment act meant to help farmers?
a. by making smaller farms that were easier to manage
b. by helping them sell their land
c. by moving farmers away from growing cotton
d. by raising crop prices

Explanation:

The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) of the New Deal era aimed to help farmers by reducing agricultural production (through paying farmers to limit crop planting/livestock raising) to address overproduction. This reduction in supply was intended to raise crop prices, which would increase farmers' income. Option A is incorrect as the AAA didn't focus on making smaller farms. Option B is wrong as it didn't help farmers sell land. Option C is inaccurate; it wasn't about moving farmers from cotton specifically but reducing overall production (including cotton) to raise prices, so D is the correct choice.

Answer:

D. By raising crop prices
