The agricultural adjustment act was designed to assist

Farmers. The Agricultural Adjustment Act, (also known as the AAA), basically said that the government would pay large farmers (in the form of subsidies), not to plant, and to kill their livestock. They did this because it would force the consumers to buy from the smaller farmers. Anyway, this act helped everyone because the large farmers got paid to do nothing, the smaller farmers had their products bought, and money was but into the economy.

Created price supports to encourage farmers to produce less cotton and tobacco.
