This oral history sheds light on the inner workings of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), a federal agency established during the New Deal to stabilize agricultural prices and control production. Focusing on the cotton section of the AAA, which was responsible for implementing the controversial cotton acreage reduction program, this fascinating volume offers a firsthand account of the political, economic, and social forces that shaped agriculture in the 1930s.
