Abstract:

The state's farmers suffered greatly during the Great Depression because this group had already experienced difficulties in the decade before. Governors O. Max Gardner and J.C.B. Ehringhaus were charged with providing aid to this especially destitute demographic. Several New Deal programs targeted the plight of farmers like the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) the Resettlement Administration (RA).
