  2. Sharecropping: The Small Farmer’s Blues

  3. Hi there, fellow sharecropper! Let’s start off in hopes of a good year and a nice harvest! First, lets check to see what supplies we need from the landlord….

  4. Now let’s see if we need anything from the general store. If its been a bad winter we might need extra food, and if its been a long season we might need some shoes or clothes!

  5. Alright y’all. Depending on the weather and how much we were able to do our crop yield might be good… or not so good!

  6. Well the harvest is over, friend. But now its judgment day. Let’s see how much our goods are selling for at the market place.

  7. How did you do at the market place?! Don’t forget, according to that contract you signed, you owe the landlord half of your profits. Go and give him his share.

  8. Now add up your expenses to calculate your savings. Did you make enough profit to cover them? Or will you be in debt. Don’t worry if you are, there’s always next year to pay off old debts! (or get further into it!)
