Answer:

Farmers in the South did not own their land, and therefore could not benefit from programs like the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which paid farmers to leave land fallow. The Commodity Credit Corporation was designed to help farmers who were in danger of defaulting on their loans, but southern tenant farmers did not have loans because they did not own their land. The Farm Credit Act was designed to help farmers refinance their loans, but again, southern tenant farmers did not have loans.
