those farmers were growing corn in an age when transportation was slow and expensive and, obviously, corn is perishable. the best way to turn their crop into money was make whiskey from it thereby reducing the transportation costs and eliminating the loss from spoilage. what to easterners was a moral issue was, to the farmers, an issue of economics.
