    In the late nineteenth century, twenty years after the Homestead Act, farmers used their land in the western plains to produce both crops and profits. The farmers of this time struggled in the agricultural way of life by facing economic and political obstacles that were impossible to avoid, requiring them to do something about their complaints.

However, farmers continued to struggle between inevitable issues like the currency debate, constant debt and rising costs.…

    For each treatment, we obtained two planting trays with cell flats- in which one corner cell was cut out to water the plants. We filled all cell flats with the fertilized soil and used forceps to place one seed with 3-4mm deep in the middle of each cell. After all trays of cells were planted, we brought these trays in a growth room and watered the plants. In the growth room, the amount of light, the temperature, and the humidity was kept the same for both control and experiment treatments. By using a ruler, we poured water into the trays up to 3 cm through the open-corner cells. We then watered the plants up to 1cm every Monday and Wednesday and up to 3cm every Friday. We also made a log of water that recorded who watered, how much water, and observations of the…

In response to these changes, farmers were being treated poorly and found themselves at a loss when it came to working with large corporate companies such as the railroads. During this time period, the shift from American farmers was beginning to surcome to industrialization.…

    Agriculture is a large part of the American economy and plays a major role in domestic affairs, even though there are foreign implications, such as aid to other poor, foreign countries in the form of food. Because agriculture is vital to keeping the domestic economy stable, the federal government has and had passed farm bills that give governmental subsidies to farmers, allowing them to “artificially inflate prices” of farm products. Another component of the agricultural issue is the issue of immigration. A large portion of Hispanic immigrants work in the agricultural industry and they produce about 20% of the total agricultural production. Republicans want to get rid of those illegal immigrants who work in the agricultural industry because that is their stance on immigration specifically. Democrats want to keep illegal immigrants because they produce a large portion of agricultural products, and because it is their stance on immigration.
