What problems did the railroads create for farmers?

Railroads often charged high rates for transporting crops, which cut into farmers' profits and made it difficult for them to compete in the market. Additionally, the monopolistic practices of railroad companies sometimes led to discriminatory pricing, where farmers in less favorable locations faced even higher fees. These practices could result in financial strain, forcing many farmers into debt and contributing to broader economic instability in rural areas. Furthermore, the expansion of railroads sometimes led to land disputes and displacement of farmers from their land.
