Answer:
The railroad companies sold some of the lands to farmers and ranchers. This is how the railroad companies used the land to grow.
Explanation:
- In the mid-to-late 1800s, the US government granted land to railroad companies to expand their networks.
- The US government gave lands to the railroads to help them grow and expand their networks.
- To expand, these railroad companies sold some land to farmers and ranchers.
- They did sell their land with a lot of perks so they could get a pretty high price for the lands.
- Since the lands were located near the railroad system, they made the distribution of the product a lot easier i.e. they brought crops and food to cities in the East, and settlers to farms in the Great Plains and this way increased the overall profit of the farmers due to reduced distribution costs.
