A farmer who works on someone else's land in exchange for a share of the crop is called a "sharecropper." Sharecropping is a system often associated with the post-Civil War South in the United States, where landowners provide land, tools, and seeds, while the sharecropper contributes labor and receives a portion of the harvest as compensation. This arrangement can sometimes lead to cycles of debt and economic dependency for the sharecropper.
