Why did critics dislike the agricultural adjustment act? a. they did not want to pay higher prices for agricultural products. b. they thought it was wrong to destroy food when people were hungry. c. they believed the free market should be the only factor in farm prices. d. they did not think that farmers were working hard enough to themselves.

The correct answer is A: They did not want to pay higher prices for agricultural products. Even though the policy of destroying food was not widely accepted, the major criticism came when the prices of farm products (from bread to cotton shirts) increased up to 50%.

In an attempt to improve the farm depression, the Agricultural Adjustment Act was passed in 1933 in order to help farmers and agricultural workers by having them producing less and charging more for the agricultural commodities. They were, in fact, paid not to produce more than a certain amount of crops, and they were asked to reduce the heads of cattle. As a result, and since the demand for food had not decreased, it was necessary to import products from other countries, the very same products that the farmers had been told not to produce.
