Farmers in the West during the late 1800s faced several challenges, including falling crop prices due to overproduction and competition. They also struggled with high costs for transportation and equipment, compounded by exploitative practices from railroads and lenders. Additionally, adverse weather conditions, such as droughts and pests, further hindered their ability to maintain profitable yields. These factors contributed to widespread economic hardship and discontent among farmers during this period.
