1) Land Shortages: As more settlers moved westward, some farmers faced land shortages and had to contend with issues related to land ownership and access to arable land.
2)Dependence on a Single Crop: Some farmers were heavily dependent on a single crop, such as cotton or wheat, which made them vulnerable to price fluctuations and crop diseases.
3)Natural Disasters: Farmers were susceptible to natural disasters like droughts, floods, and insect infestations, which could devastate their crops and livelihoods.
