"keep a little"
Hi
Here is a quote which I have a problem with.
Indeed, her full title for the photograph includes a quote from them. She tells how 'drought farmers line the shady side of the main street of the town while their crops burn up in the fields. "The guvment may keep us a little I reckon." '
Does it mean that the government didn't protect them? or something else?
Regards, Nesa

During the Great Depression in the US, the government started many programs to help the people affected by the bad economy and the dust bowl. The farmers are commenting that the government subsidies will help them, but only a little bit.
