The main goal of farmers in 1900 was to achieve financial stability and improve their livelihoods amid challenging economic conditions. Many faced falling crop prices, rising debt, and competition from industrial agriculture. Farmers sought to increase crop yields, diversify their produce, and gain access to better markets. Additionally, they often advocated for political reforms, such as the regulation of railroad rates and the establishment of cooperative organizations to strengthen their bargaining power.
