Because farmers as a rule only get paid when the crops are sold the depend upon credit at stores for seed and essentials. Sometimes the crop doesn't bring in enough money to pay the previous years debt so they tend to stay in debt. However if all goes well they can pay their bills and but money aside to buy the farm if that is an option or maybe buy land elsewhere and start over on their own. Sharecroppers and farmers both have hard lives that depend on the weather a great deal. So nothing is a sure thing. Many take out loans to cover costs until the crops are in and they are able to pay it back.

Technically, sharecroppers were not slaves. They did not own land so they borrowed land from rich land owners in return for some of the profit. Sharecroppers could plant what they liked, and basically do what they wanted, just as long as the land owner got his fair share of the profit.
