How were rural landowners and tenant farmers affected by the
Agricultural Adjustment Act? *
Landowners received federal money for not planting certain crops, while tenant
farmers often ended up being removed from the lands they worked.
Tenant farmers received aid in case their crops should fail, while landowners paid
increased taxes in order to fund this program.
Landowners received benefits for producing crops with high yields, while tenant
farmers were given an increased workload to produce these crops.
Tenant farmers enjoyed improved working conditions and paid time off, while
landowners were expected to pay for these benefits.
