The first area of the U.S. economy that Roosevelt's New Deal sought to reform was:
a. Agriculture
During the Great Depression in the 1930s, agriculture was severely affected, with falling crop prices and widespread farm foreclosures. In response, the New Deal introduced several programs to address these issues and reform the agricultural sector. One of the most well-known programs was the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA), which aimed to boost agricultural prices by reducing surplus production through methods like crop reduction and subsidies for farmers. This reform was crucial in stabilizing the agricultural economy and providing relief to farmers during that challenging period.
