Farm Security Administration

Farm Security Administration (FSA) The Bankhead–Jones Farm Tenancy Act created this agency to give low-interest mortgages so that tenants could become landowners. Between 1937 and 1947, it gave 47,104 mortgages worth $293,000,000. It also operated the Rural Rehabilitation Program. Congress cut the FSA’s budget sharply in World War II and replaced it with the Farmers’ Home Administration in 1946.
