How did the New Deal program hurt American farmers?

The New Deal program, while aimed at providing relief during the Great Depression, sometimes hurt American farmers through measures like the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA), which paid farmers to reduce crop production. This led to decreased supply and higher prices, but many small farmers, who could not afford to cut production, suffered economically. Additionally, the focus on large-scale operations often marginalized smaller farms, leaving many in financial distress. The execution of these programs sometimes favored wealthier landowners, exacerbating inequality within the agricultural community.
