Farm Security Administration 1937

On September 1, 1937, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) was created to help tenant farmers buy land during the Depression. Its photographers, including Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans, also produced the iconic Dust Bowl images now in the Library of Congress. Today's USDA Farm Service Agency (also called FSA) inherits the name. Source: Library of Congress FSA-OWI photograph collection; USDA Farm Service Agency history.
