From Wikipedia:

The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (P.L. 75-430) was legislation in the United States that was enacted as an alternative and replacement for the farm subsidy policies, in previous New Deal farm legislation (Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933), that had been found unconstitutional. It also responded to the success of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act passed in 1935.

The Agriculture Adjustment Act (AAA) gave farmers government payment, to grow fewer cropss. A smaller supply of crops on the market would increase demand for those crops. This would drive prices up and help farmers earn money.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act (sometimes called "Triple A") was a United States federal law of the New Deal era which restricted agricultural production by paying farmers subsidies not to plant part of their land (that is, to let a portion of their fields lie fallow) and to kill off excess livestock. Its purpose was to reduce crop surplus and therefore effectively raise the value of crops.
