 * Kirstin and Laurel **

Hello my fellow Americans, I am promoting an act that Congress and I will pass if we get your approval. This act will pay farmers to reduce the production of specific crops and set target prices. The act will be called The Agriculture Adjustment Act or also called AAA. The government will pay farmers to buy their land and cattle to help reduce the surplus of staple crops. The act will control the basic crops in everyday life like corn, wheat, cotton, rice, peanuts, tobacco, and milk. This will raise farm prices and this will help farmers get out of debt. The extra crops that the government will not let the farmers sell will be stored until there is a shortage at which point they will be used. Also if the troops need them in a war we could have them ready to go. In past years troops have been low on foods but now the troops will have food for the war and the farmers will have money and be out of debt.

Stopping crop production will also help the soil if farmers plant soil building crops instead of planting staple crops. The soil will also be healthier and plentiful for crops when we are ready to plant them again. It will also prevent the Dust Bowl from continuing. The reason for the Dust Bowl is because the soil is loose and does not have nutrients in it but if we leave the soil alone and do not plant a lot of crops in the soil, the soil will become healthier.
