The Farm Security Administration (FSA)

The Farm Security Administration (FSA) was a government agency created in 1937 to help poor farmers and rural communities during the Great Depression. Its main goals were to improve farming conditions, provide loans, and promote modern agricultural practices. The FSA also produced influential photographs and stories that highlighted rural hardships to raise awareness and generate support for relief efforts. By doing so, it played a key role in addressing rural poverty and helping farmers regain stability during a difficult time in American history.
