The was to be financed by a tax on food processing.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) was to be financed by a tax on food processes. The AAA was based on giving farmers subsidies if they limit their production of crops. This was going to limit the production so that they could raise the prices of the crops being produced. The AAA was hoping to create a huge demand and "scare" that these items were scarce in quantity. 

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
