The Agriculture Adjustment Administration (AAA) of 1933 raised farm prices through subsidies. It paid farmers not to raise certain crops and livestock, hoping that lower production would cause prices to rise. The Supreme Court struck down the tax that funded AAA subsidies to farmers. The Civil Works Administration (CWA) was a public works program funding jobs ranging from ditch digging to highway repairs to teaching. Created in November 1933, it was criticized as “make work” and abandoned in the spring of 1934. It provided a psychological and physical boost to its 4 million workers.
