The New Deal tried to solve the problem of surplus goods for farmers.
During the Great Depression, farmers continued to produce a significant amount of goods despite the fact that many Americans could no longer afford these foods/goods. This resulted in American society having more goods than the consumer wanted (aka a surplus).
To combat this surplus, President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This paid farmers not to make any more goods/foods. This would help end the surplus and increase the amount of money that farmers would make off their products.
