What kind of farming is based on an agreement between a person who owns land and told any person who does the work in return for a portion of the crop?

Answer 1

The type of farming described is known as sharecropping. In this system, a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crops produced. This arrangement often arose in the post-Civil War Southern United States, where it provided a means for landowners to maintain agricultural production while giving laborers a way to earn a living. However, sharecropping frequently led to cycles of debt and poverty for the workers involved.
