	Farm Security Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially created as The Resettlement Administration in 1935 in the wake of the New Deal, the Farm Security Administration was an experiment in collectivizing agriculture — that is, in bringing farmers together to work on large government-owned farms using modern techniques under the supervision of experts.
		The RA and FSA bought out small farms that were not economically viable, and set up 34 subsistence homestead communities, in which groups of farmers would live together under the guidance of government experts and work a common area.
		It denounced "inexcusable waste, extravagance, and incompetence, and the misuse of farm relief funds for the pursuit of socialistic objectives inimical to the American way of agriculture." RA and FSA had strained relations as well with the state agricultural colleges and their extension services.

	Farmers Without Land: The Plight of White Tenant Farmers and Sharecroppers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		While farming provided a route to economic success for many white Mississippians, a number of whites could always be found at the bottom of the agricultural ladder, working as tenant farmers or sharecroppers, a status more typically associated with fl Mississippians in the century after the American Civil War.
		Although the tenant/sharecropping system is usually thought of as a development that occurred after the Civil War, this type of farming existed in antebellum Mississippi, especially in the areas of the state with few slaves or plantations, such as northeast Mississippi.
		Many rented land from or farmed on shares with family members and typically received favorable arrangements, but some antebellum tenants or sharecroppers had to deal with landlords who were primarily concerned with making profits rather than helping struggling farmers move toward landownership.

	Farm Security Administration
		Created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt as part of his "New Deal," the Farm Security Administration was a depression-era agency that granted small farmers and tenant farmers in the United States money to purchase farms.
		The Dust Bowl, in particular, had provoked a disastrous dislocation of small farmers at the same time that economic depression in industrial centers reduced purchasing power for food consumers and industrial farming, both in Europe and the United States, increased pressure on small farm holders.
		In 1943, Congress disbanded the FSA as a budget waste, and the photographic unit was subsumed by the Office of War Information.

	History of the Farm Security Administration (1)
		The shipper-grower, the seasonal low-paid worker and the industrial farm system were replacing the individual yeoman farmer and the family farm setting as the primary face of American agriculture (Carlebach and Provenzo 4-5).
		The primary goal of the Farm Security Administration, as it had been for previous New Deal agencies whose responsibilities the FSA inherited, was to combat the social and economic dislocations caused by the distressing agricultural climate.
		The body of documentary photography commonly known as the FSA photographs was, therefore, not the primary work of that organization.

		While nominally remaining on the employment rolls of the Farm Security Administration, Silvermaster arranged in 1942 to be detailed to the Board of Economic Warfare.
