What was the fundamental economic problem the new deal attempt to solve for farmers

The New Deal tried to solve the problem of surplus goods for farmers.

During the Great Depression, farmers continued to produce a significant amount of goods despite the fact that many Americans could no longer afford these foods/goods. This resulted in American society having more goods than the consumer wanted (aka a surplus).

To combat this surplus, President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This paid farmers not to make any more goods/foods. This would help end the surplus and increase the amount of money that farmers would make off their products.

The fundamental problem was surplus production,
The new deal agricultural adjustment program aimed at reducing supply of agricultural goods in a time that people could not afford buying causing a problem with demand. With this deal, farmers were paid to destroy their crops or simply not grow anything.
