Question

what was the overall purpose of the federal farm board?
a. to help american farmers market their crop overseas
b. to help farmers learn how to prevent another dust bowl
c. to use specific economic strategies to help increase crop prices
d. to persuade the nations banks to avoid foreclosures on farmland

Explanation:

The Federal Farm Board, established in the late 1920s, was created to address plummeting crop prices that harmed farmers. Its core strategy involved buying surplus crops and using other economic tools to reduce supply and drive up market prices for agricultural goods. Option a is incorrect as overseas marketing was not its main focus; option b is wrong because the Dust Bowl occurred later, after the board's founding; option d is not its primary purpose, as bank foreclosure relief was not its core mission.

Answer:

c. to use specific economic strategies to help increase crop prices
