Answer:

The plan's proponents hoped to create both more competition and greater financial independence for farmers by arguing that the government was the appropriate dispenser of rural credit. References: John D. Hicks, The Populist Revolt: A History of the Farmers' Alliance and the People's Party (1931).

Explanation: Hope this helps
