Farmers from Ohio and other parts of the Midwest needed to move their crops to the East Coast. It took too long to haul large amounts of crops so many would make alcohol out of their crops to reduce the volume. But people needed flour. Travel by water is cheaper so the Erie Canal made it affordable to send corn and wheat via the canal and flour mills in Rochester would send the flour to New York City.
