New Farm Plans Spark Political Battle After AAA Fallout
Following the Supreme Court ruling voiding the AAA, two major farm reform proposals attract attention. One originates in a government-farm leaders conference and echoes AAA goals via the Soil Conservation Act. The other comes from Herbert Hoover’s Republican faction. The state would retire farm land from production with direct payments, funding shifts from general revenues, and a diversified planting program to boost soil fertility, signaling a contentious policy debate ahead of elections.
