Institutionele geschiedenis

The United Farmers of Alberta was formed in 1909 when the Canadian Society of Equity merged with the Alberta Farmers' Association. The objectives of the UFA were to practice the principles of cooperation, improve the moral, intellectual and financial status of farmers, promote legislation to achieve these ends and to study economic and social questions bearing on the interests of farmers. A women's auxiliary was formed in 1914. In 1916 it became an independent body under the name United Farm Women of Alberta. The UFA endorsed political action in 1919. It won the 1921 provincial election. The UFA Government remained in power until 1935. During this period a majority of Alberta's Member of Parliament (MPs) were also UFA candidates. The UFA withdrew from direct political action in 1939. In 1932 the UFA Central Cooperative Association was established to handle the organization's cooperative activities. It was incorporated as the United Farmers of Alberta Cooperative Ltd. in 1948. The UFA itself joined the Alberta Farmers' Union in 1949 to form the Farmers' Union of Alberta (FUA). In 1970 the FUA and the Alberta Federation of Agriculture joined to form Unifarm and Women of Unifarm. In 1996 Unifarm changed its name to Wild Rose Agricultural Producers.
