Agricultural Overproduction Periodic Natural Disasters Farmer Problems 1870-1900 Problem Explanation Agricultural Overproduction  : food prices fall High Costs    : railroad companies charged outrageous prices to ship crops Debt  : Famers borrowed money and went further into debt- high interest rates Periodic Natural Disasters  : One bad year could wipe out a crop and the family’s savings. Which one of the problems is the worst? Create a postage stamp drawing for that problem.

Who did they blame for their problems? THE GRANGE MOVEMENT Who: Farmers   Purpose: A social club for farmers to help them overcome rural isolation and spread information about new farming techniques Who did they blame for their problems? THE RAILROADS Why would this social club be important for farmers?

Illinois (1877) Supreme Court rules the right of the state to regulate businesse that affected public interest Interstate Commerce Act Prohibts railroads from charging more for short hauls than for long hauls Interstate Commerce Commission Created to investigate complaints and to enforce acts. Marks a change from the “laissez-faire” economy of the past
