Dole Act

The Dole Act, officially known as the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, was a U.S. law aimed at supporting farmers by providing financial assistance and stabilizing agricultural prices during the Great Depression. It offered subsidies to help farmers manage crop production and income levels, ensuring they could continue farming despite economic hardships. The act also sought to avoid overproduction that could lower prices further. Overall, it was part of broader New Deal efforts to boost the agricultural economy and improve rural living conditions.
