Why did the farmers dumped their food and milk instead of giving it away during the great depression?

With so many poor people who did not have money for basics like food, the prices dropped. In order to keep the prices up, the producers dumped the food rather than donating it to feed the poor. Once Franklin D Roosevelt was elected, he developed government programs like the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation and Drought Relief Services to buy these products and distribute to the needy, thereby helping the producers and the poor.
