		Second, unlike the independent NRA, the AAA was embedded into an existing bureaucracy--the U.S.D.A.--that provided administrative infrastructure as well as crucial data on commodity production, etc. Finally, the existing web of extension agents provided the means to both carry production control to the farms and monitor progress.
