The New Deal by FDR’s best and brightest slapped Americans with new ways. The Resettlement Administration took farm families from what the federals decided was poor land and moved the people to new towns, where all would participate in communal farming.
The Farm Security Administration ran labor camps, with farm families working to grow food for the war. Here is a link to a photograph of children of farm workers from West Virginia at a labor camp in Batavia, N.Y.
