>>21479679Farmers in my country sometimes get paid to destroy their harvest, that is right DESTROY their harvest. Rather than admit that the machine does its job too well they will pay to pretend. Did they pay them to donate the excess food to a food bank? No, they were paid to DESTROY what could be used to feed the hungry. Oh, I get it now, God doesn't exist.
The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) was a United States federal law of the New Deal era designed to boost agricultural prices by reducing surpluses. The government bought livestock for slaughter and paid farmers subsidies not to plant on part of their land. The money for these subsidies was generated through an exclusive tax on companies that processed farm products. The Act created a new agency, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, also called "AAA" (1933–1942), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to oversee the distribution of the subsidies.[2][3][4] The Agriculture Marketing Act, which established the Federal Farm Board in 1929, was seen as an important precursor to this act.[5][6] The AAA, along with other New Deal programs, represented the federal government's first substantial effort to address economic welfare in the United States.[7]
