International Agricultural Adjustment Act

The International Agricultural Adjustment Act is a U.S. law aimed at stabilizing agricultural markets and improving the income of farmers. It was designed to manage the supply of crops and livestock by providing financial assistance to farmers who reduce production. This helps prevent overproduction, which can lower prices and harm farmers' earnings. The Act also supports international trade by promoting U.S. agricultural products abroad. Ultimately, it seeks to ensure a stable agricultural economy while balancing the interests of farmers, consumers, and global markets.
