The correct answer is - Great Depression.
During the Great Depression, lot of people in the United States found themselves on the verge of poverty and bankruptcy. The economic climate was terrible, and one of the biggest problems for that was the badly planned production of agricultural products, which led to enormous surplus.
Because of this, in 1933, President Roosevelt decided to introduce the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which led to offering subsidies to the farmers in order for them to reduce their production for the time being.
