The crop - lien system is a credit system that became widely used by farmers in the United States in the South from the s to the s. The crop - lien system was a way for farmers to get credit before the planting season by borrowing against the value for anticipated harvests.
The credit system was used by land owners, sharecroppers, and tenant farmers. The merchant insisted that more cotton, or some other cash crop , be grown—nothing else paid well—and thus came to dictate the crops that a farmer grew. The Farm Problem and Agrarian Protest Movements The Farmers' Alliance was an s agrarian movement with the goals of ending the crop - lien system and promoting higher commodity prices.
Its first convention was in , when delegates from farm, labor, and reform organizations met in Omaha, Nebraska, determined at last to make their mark on a U.
Bank failures abounded in the South and Midwest; unemployment soared and crop prices fell badly. The Farmer's Alliance One of the goals of the organization was to end the adverse effects of the crop - lien system on farmers in the period following the American Civil War.
Agriculture, Tenancy, and the Environment At harvest time, the sharecropper received a share of the crop from one-third to one-half, with the landowner taking the rest. The system started with blacks when large plantations were subdivided. Other solutions included the crop - lien system in which the farmer was extended credit for seed and other supplies by the merchant , the rent-labor system in which former slaves rented land but kept the entire crop , and the wage system in which the worker earned a fixed wage, but kept none of his crop.
This system was distinct from the sharecropper. The landowner would extend to the farmer shelter, food, and necessary items on credit to be repaid out of the tenant's share of the crop.
