Farm Security Administration

The Farm Security Administration (FSA) was a government agency established during the Great Depression in 1937 to help improve the lives of rural Americans, particularly farmers facing economic hardship. It provided loans, offered technical assistance, and aimed to reduce poverty, improve farming practices, and promote rural development. The FSA also became well-known for its photography project, which documented rural life and shed light on Americans' struggles during that era. Overall, the FSA played a key role in supporting vulnerable rural communities through financial aid and social programs.
