Farming in the United States changed in the late 1800s in that Larger farms began producing a single crop and farmers began using new equipment.

The economic situation of American farmers in the 1800s was complicated. Railroads charged them too much money to transport their products. Industrialization brought up new technologies that were applied to agriculture and some companies displaced poor farmers that had no money and infrastructure to compete with larger firms. Many farmers decided to move from the rural US to larger cities to find better jobs in the manufacturing plants.
