The South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Farmers Alliance Records document the early agricultural reform movement in à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Territory, focusing on farmers’ efforts to organize against economic hardships and railroad monopolies. The collection includes an 1887 address by President H. L. Loucks, proceedings from the Alliance’s annual convention that same year, and an undated advertisement for A Book for Farmers – Dunning’s Farm Ledger and Historical Account. These materials reflect the Alliance’s advocacy for economic reforms, railroad regulation and farmer education.

The South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Farmers’ Alliance emerged in the early 1880s, influenced by the National Farmers’ Alliance, and driven by declining wheat prices and growing opposition to railroad policies. The movement gained momentum in 1885 with the formation of the à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Farmers’ Alliance in Huron, rapidly expanding across the region. These records provide insight into the Alliance’s objectives, leadership, and strategies, offering valuable context for researchers studying agrarian activism, economic policy and rural political movements in South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã.
