	Farmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Farmers may also be involved in rearing cattle for meat or milk.
		A farmer engaged in raising horses or in large-scale cattle or sheep raising for meat is usually referred to as a rancher, grazier (Australia) or stockman.
		In developed nations, a farmer (as a profession) is usually defined as someone with an ownership interest in crops or livestock, and who provides labor or management in their production.

	Farmers' Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Farmers' Alliance was an organized agrarian economic movement among U.S. farmers that flourished in the 1880s.
		The Farmers' Alliance grew out of the Grange movement, which formed social organizations among farmers and which had flourished the Midwest and had spread in popularity to the South.
		The failure of the political arm of the Grange movement left many farmers with the attitude that political action was futile in the face of large corporations.

	Handbook of Texas Online: FARMERS' ALLIANCE
		The initial growth of the alliance in Texas was slow, and its membership rather inactive.
		In his presidential address to the national alliance convention in 1889, he argued that the root cause of the agricultural depression was an insufficient currency supply, thus echoing the analysis found earlier in the controversial Cleburne demands.
		The party's betrayal of alliance principles in 1896, in particular its abandonment of the subtreasury, was assailed by Texas alliance activists.

	No. 02CA0231. Farmers Alliance Mutual Insurance Co. v. Ho. - December 19, 2002 - Colorado Court of Appeals Opinions
		Farmers Alliance contends the trial court erred in finding the customer’s car was covered under symbol 28 because garage owner did not "borrow" the vehicle from the customer.
		Had Farmers Alliance desired to restrict or narrow the meaning of "borrow" or to equate it with "loan," it could easily have done so by defining it in the policy or conditioning coverage upon the intention of the property owner.
		Farmers Alliance next contends that, because garage owner obtained coverage only for those autos described in symbols 28 and 29, the policy excludes coverage for customers’ autos left for service or repair under symbol 30, which covers those "autos left with you for service, repair, storage, or safekeeping." We disagree.

	Farmers' Alliance - KS-Cyclopedia - 1912
		It was formed for the purpose of protecting the small farmers from the encroachments of the "cattle barons," who wanted to hold the wide ranges for their herds, and who endeavored by all means to prevent the settlement of the country where they had established themselves.
		The Farmers' Alliance was introduced into Kansas through the work of three editors, viz: C. Vincent, of the American Nonconformist, of Winfield; John R. Rogers, of the Newton Commoner, and W. Rightmire, of Cottonwood Falls, associate editor of the Nonconformist.
		Dunning, in his "History of the Farmers' Alliance," says: "Sometime during the year 1887 a number of sub-alliances were formed in Cowley county, and it is from this beginning that the Alliance in Kansas took its start." Toward the close of that year the Cowley county alliance was organized—the first in the state.

		Many of the problems that the farmers encountered were due to a general ignorance of everything from “the lien” to the latest science in agriculture – chief being crop rotation and diversification, a key to pre Civil War agrarian independence.
		The period of 1888-1890 was a watershed for the Farmer’s Alliance.
		Farmers would deal directly with the government – eliminating the hated merchant middlemen – and would be able to obtain low-interest loans against their crop yields.

	91560 -- Farmers Alliance Mut. Ins. Co. V. Garcia -- Rulon -- Kansas Court of Appeals
		Plaintiff Farmers Alliance Mutual Insurance Company (Farmers), as servicing carrier for the Kansas Automobile Assigned Claims Plan (KAACP or the Plan), requested summary judgment against defendant Eagle Insurance Company (Eagle), seeking the district court's determination that Farmers was entitled to recover PIP benefits, prejudgment interest, and attorney fees.
		Farmers argues the district court erred when the court denied the award of prejudgment interest and attorney fees based upon its finding that Eagle had a good faith reason to believe that Eagle was not responsible for the payment of PIP benefits.
		Farmers argues the district court was not required to resolve any contract provisions or conflict of laws provisions when finding that Eagle must pay PIP benefits; however, in the district court's memorandum decision, the conflict of laws issues was addressed and ruled on by the court.

		Because of the sad state of the economy and because poor white farmers were going into serious debt and either lost their farms or were close to losing their farms, political discontent began to surface.
		What the Farmers Alliance was trying to do was work out arrangements to sell their cotton at better prices and buy goods without paying inflated credit prices.
		Political Involvement: The Alliance leaders came to realize that the only way they were going to accomplish their goals was to have a national alliance.

	THE HIGH HAT \| MARGINALIA: Lawrence Goodwyn on Democratic Movements
		After a few years of this, the farmer’s debt to the merchant was so great that he eventually had to sell his property to cover his debt and would wind up a tenant farmer on what had been his own farm.
		Goodwyn documents the growth of the Farmers Alliance, the early successes of the cooperative movement, and the emergence of some of the leaders of the party.
		The farmers were doomed, their movement stolen by opportunistic and powerful men without a connection to the grassroots, men who didn’t understand the need for a sub-treasury.

		The Alliance's political agenda in Washington state included federal control of the money supply and the railroads, low interest loans for farmers, and increased direct democracy through women's suffrage, the direct election of senators, the secret ballot, and the initiative and referendum processes.
		One key to the meteoric success of the Farmers' Alliance, and something today's progressive organizations should heed, was their conscious mix of diverse activities and goals.
		In the same year, the Chehalis Farmer's Alliance inaugurated a weekly newspaper called The People's Advocate, which is still publishing today, but as a moderate, independent paper known as the Lewis County Advocate.

		The Colored Farmers Alliance, while being segregated from the broader Southern and Northern Alliances, was integrally related to the farmer-led movement which came to be known as the Populist movement.
		Like other farm clubs of the late nineteenth century, the Colored Farmers Alliance was in many respects a conservative organization which urged its members simply to practice better farming methods, to acquire their homes, and to improve their level of education.
		In some areas the Colored Farmers Alliance raised funds to provide longer public school terms and in 1889 it began publishing its own weekly newspaper, The National Alliance, which reached "many thousand colored families."9 Finally, it is also known that the Colored Farmers Alliance solicited funds to help its sick and disabled members.

		In 1886, a more politically militant faction took control of the Alliance and began to agitate for many of the reforms that soon formed the basis of the Populist movement.
		In the 1890s, the Farmers' Alliance struggled to maintain a separate identity from the Populist Party.
		When the Populists went down to their final defeat in the 1896 election, it was also the end of the Farmers' Alliance.

		The first Colored Farmers Alliance was actually established four years earlier, in 1882, but it was not recorded in the official history of the organization by Gen. R.
		Similarly, the organization central to this paper, the Colored Farmers Alliance, while registered officially as the Colored Farmers National Alliance and Co-Operative Union, is referred to interchangeably as the Colored Farmer's Alliance, Colored Farmer's Alliance and Cooperative Union, and the Colored Alliance.
		Humphrey estimated approximately a quarter of the members of the Colored Farmers Alliance in 1891 were women.

		Regrettably, the Colored Farmers' Alliance suffered from internal weaknesses, the most important of which were the result of race and class issues inherent in the unique composition of the Colored Alliance.
		The white Alliance's rejection of the cotton pickers' strike also illustrates that it was, as an organization, unwilling to support any initiative which threatened the racial and class hegemony its members held over Black agrarians.
		Despite these problems however, through the Colored Alliance, hundreds of thousands of African Americans fought to improve their lives, their farms, and in defense of the rights they won during the Civil War and Reconstruction.

		The Alliance said the problem was the railroads, eastern banks and industrial monopolies.
		In 1890, the Farmers' Alliance had become a radical organization facing desperate times.
		The document called for the government ownership of railroads and telegraph lines, the abolition of land monopoly, the free coinage of silver to inflate the value of crops, and lower taxes so that "our laboring interests will be fostered and wealth bear its just burdens." Within 30 days, 15,000 voters had signed the petition.

	01-6313 -- Grain Dealers Mutual Insurance Co. V. Farmers Alliance Mutual Insurance Co. -- 06/24/2002
		Grain Dealers contends that the court erred because the statute "conditions an award of attorney fees on 'prevailing party' status" and also provides that the insurer is the prevailing party "where judgment does not exceed the written offer of settlement" made by the insurer.
		It is clear, therefore, that Farmers submitted a written rejection of the claim to its insured within ninety days, as required by the statute.
		We conclude that Farmers complied with the strictures of the statute, and that an award of attorney fees by the district court was not inappropriate.

		During the 1870s, farmers in the West and South were afflicted by falling prices, mounting debt and climbing interest rates.
		A response to these conditions was found in 1877 with the creation of the Southern Farmers’ Alliance (formally the national Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union).
		The Alliance proved to be incapable of confronting the farm overproduction issue.

		After the alliance received a charter from the federal government in 1888, Humphrey began organizing chapters throughout the South.
		For a while he faced competition from a rival group, the National Colored Alliance, which appeared in Texas about the same time as the Colored Farmers' Alliance and was led by Andrew J. Carothers.
		In September 1891 it called for cotton pickers throughout the South to strike unless they received wages of a dollar per hundred pounds, but the organization had neither the local leaders nor the means of communication necessary to unite its members in such a venture.
