During the late 19th century, why might an American farmer have supported the Populist movement?

American farmers supported the Populist movement in the late 19th century due to economic hardships, disillusionment with the government, and the desire for better representation. They faced declining crop prices, monopolistic practices from large corporations, and high levels of debt, prompting them to unite under the Populist Party for reform. The movement sought to address their concerns through political action and an equitable economic system.
