Growth of Farming in America, 1865-1900

Discusses the growth of farming in America between 1865-1900, explaining that after the Civil War farmers suffered from falling prices, rising costs, scarce credit, and discriminatory freight rates. Points out that despite movements like the Grange, the Populists, and soft money, no real improvement came until a rising urban population created a greater demand for farm products, and technological advances improved farming methods.
