Farmer alliances, particularly in the late 19th century, organized to address issues such as low crop prices and high railroad freight rates. They established cooperatives to improve purchasing power for supplies and to sell crops collectively, aiming to reduce reliance on middlemen. Additionally, they advocated for political reforms, such as the regulation of railroads and the establishment of a more favorable monetary policy, including the introduction of a bimetallic standard to increase the money supply. These actions laid the groundwork for later movements, including the Populist Party.
