@Zale101
problems such as indian raids, poor growing conditions, droughts, disease, insects are what western famers faced during the 1800s.
so its a
because of that, transportation price for goods were high which caused less profit. And top of that, the crops prices dropped resulting in less profit too.
A can't be the answer, the farmers had problems with prices

During the late 1800s, farmers faced many challenges. Some of them were in desperate economic straits. Their profits had gone down while their expenses had gone up. Ironically, success had led to failure; after years of bountiful harvests, the supply of fresh produce and grain was exceeding demand. This imbalance caused prices to fall. Meanwhile, the railroads continued to raise prices for shipping, and manufacturers who sold equipment such as plows were also charging more. Farmers had little choice but to go into debt.
