Sharecropping helps both parties, the landowner and the "sharecropper". The landowner gets an "on-site" tenant, that works for a reduced rate. The "sharecropper" gets a portion of the harvest as payment for their labor, and low cost or no cost housing. Simply, a sharecropper is a tenant who participates in the business, and has the opportunity to profit from it.
