They do that because they would divide their land among their sons and after several generations the average farmer would have about an acre of land. So with a little bit of money they had no choice but to sell their land to aristocrats and become tenant farmers.
Tenant Farmers
The farmers demanded regulation of the railroads because the railroads were abusing government land grants and taking away land from the farmers. High rates were also being changed for transportation.
When farmers are paid not to cultivate land less crops are produced. This will keep prices up so that the farmers can actually have money for the planting in the following year.
Work the land to pay the rent.

They shared their profits with the plantation owner.
Aristocrats relied on farmers to grow the crops that made them rich. About 9 out of 10 Chinese were farmers. They lived in simple houses inside village walls. The aristocrats owned feilds outside the village walls. To pay for the use of land, the farmers gave part of their crop to landowners.
The four social classes of china were the shi, the Nong, the gong and the Shang. The shi were low-level aristocrats, the Nong were the farmers, the gong were the artisans and craftsman and the Shang were the merchants.

Could not keep up with taxes nor hire more hands to cultivate the lands. P.s I like chicken.
The term for farmers who did not pay rent but worked the land they lived on is "sharecroppers." Sharecroppers typically paid a portion of their crops or profits to the landowner as rent. This system was prevalent in the Southern United States after the Civil War and often resulted in cycles of debt and poverty for the sharecroppers.
Because it cost them too much money to work on the land. But they still needed jobs, so they became tenant farmers.
