Question

In the late 1800s, farmers across the nation organized to demand

A. less government regulation of railroads.
B. regulation of railroad and grain elevator rates.
C. dismantling of farm cooperatives.
D. lower crop prices.

Answer 1

The correct answer is
B. regulation of railroad and grain elevator rates.

One of their main problems was that the railroad companies were taking their land to build without asking them because they worked with corrupt politicians. They also wanted better prices for grain because not having it would ruin their business and they were the main source of food in the country.
