A special thank you goes to María Len-Ríos, whose expertise and patience saw me through my research and who endured more frantic e-mails and phone calls to her office than anyone ever should. Thank you also to Sandy Rikoon, who graciously agreed to step into a project outside of his discipline, to the great benefit of my research. Finally, thank you to Martha Pickens, who helped me navigate the Missouri School of Journalism, and to Ginny Cowell, who patiently guided me through the final steps of this project. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………………...ii LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………….....................iv Chapter 1.

  • The Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the Decline of Oklahoma Cotton Tenancy
    THE AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION AND THE DECLINE OF OKLAHOMA COTTON TENANCY By GREGORY RANDALL GRAVES If Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1975 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1979 r·. )"hesi.S I cp q G 17GQ.. ~.;( THE AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION AND THE DECLINE OF OKLAHOMA COTTON TENANCY Thesis Approved: Thesis Adviser Dean of the'Gr;duate College ii PREFACE The Great Depression had a tremendous impact upon the structure of farm tenancy in Oklahoma as well as other agricultural areas of the country. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his advisers created the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to aid farmers, its policies re­ sulted in displacement of tenants throughout the Cotton Belt. These early displacements, often popularly attributed to drought conditions, were more directly caused by the provisions of the Cotton Section of the AAA. Both the tenant provisions and the rental payment program greatly reduced the already tenuous position of cotton tenants in Okla­ homa and all areas where the share crop and crop lein systems prevailed. In the first year of the AAA its leaders were faced with the fact that crops were already planted and growing. Thus they had to pay farmers to plow under a percentage of the crop in order to reduce over­ production. Tenant farmers were actually aided in 1933, as they par­ ticipated directly in the program, and shared fully in the benefit payments. However, the following years were not as beneficial.

Brake Department of History Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Robert Korstad, Supervisor ___________________________ Edward Balleisen ___________________________ Laura Edwards ___________________________ John Thompson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry in the Graduate School of Duke University 2013 Copyright by Elizabeth K. Brake 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines federal farm policy between 1933 and 1965 and its implementation in North and South Carolina. It argues that restricted economic democracy in the Farm State – the full array of agriculture regulations, programs, and agencies associated with the federal government – enabled policy makers to adhere strictly to the principles of progressive farming and parity in the development and implementation of farm policies. These ideals emphasized industrialized, commercial farming by ever-larger farms and excluded many smaller farms from receiving the full benefit of federal farm aid. The resulting programs, by design, contributed significantly to the contraction of the farm population and the concentration of farm assets in the Carolinas.
