- - - - helped farmers whose problems hadn't been addressed earlier
      - helped 500,000 farming families
      - by providing special loans, they eliminated the problem of dependency between the landowners & sharecroppers/tenant farmers
    - - despite their efforts, the situation of poor farm workers remained grim
      - the dependency between landowners & sharecroppers/tenant farmers can never be 100% eliminated, there will always be small farmers willing to work as sharecroppers/tenant as there will always be a demand for them, from the landowners, so the loans didn't make much of a difference
  - - - stronger trade unions = higher wages & shorter working hours = cost of labour is very expensive for employers, and they're not getting much out of it (shorter working hours) = in order to remain profitable, prices must rise = inflation = nobody can afford these products = the company may close, cut wages, or fire employees to remain profitable, which creates an even bigger problem
  - - - ... = dependency on the government

Less diseases = less spending on health = more money = better living conditions, less poverty. Also, more jobs are available for tenant farmers and sharecroppers as more land is available for farming
- - - - tenant farmers
      - sharecroppers
        
        the Resettlement Association (1935) and Farm Security Administration (1937) helped these farmers
