Land Owners.
Sharecropping benefited both the workers and the owners. Sharecropping involved tenants farming land that is owned by someone else in return for a share of the crops.
The landowners benefited least from a sharecropping arrangement, as they often faced financial instability and reliance on the labor of sharecroppers for their income. While they initially retained ownership of the land, the sharecropping system often led to cycles of debt for both parties, limiting the landowners' ability to profit significantly. Additionally, as sharecroppers struggled to make ends meet, landowners found it challenging to maintain consistent agricultural output and profitability. Overall, the system was designed to exploit the labor of sharecroppers, leaving landowners with diminishing returns.
