In the late 1780s, land in the northwest territory appealed mostly to?

Farmers.

Explanation:

The Northwest Territory was an area that comprised the modern states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. This area was highly contested by France and Britain. However, after the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British held control of the land, which was eventually passed to the new government of the United States in the 1780s. This area was appealing during these years to farmers, because there was great potential for growing crops.
