The farming business wasn't making as much money as the factory job was making them

Hey there!

Farmers had to leave their farms to go migrate and work in big cities because when all of the new cities were being built they were taking the land away from the farmers, then on top of that, the farmers had to sell there, at so cheap they weren't making enough money to run all the equipment and support a family.


Hope this helps!
