Description | The Northern Farmers’ Alliance, born in 1879, arose from farmers' discontent with low crop prices and perceived exploitation by various entities. In Nebraska, severe droughts and bank foreclosures fueled this discontent, leading to the formation of the first local Alliance in Filley in 1880. The Nebraska State Alliance, established in 1881, aimed for legislative reforms and cooperative efforts. The Independent Party in Nebraska endorsed Alliance candidates, influencing mainstream party platforms. Several Nebraska publications, such as The Farmers' Alliance and Nebraska Independent, advocated Alliance and Independent views. The Independent, edited by James A. Edgerton, addressed farmers' concerns and had a significant readership. Articles like “Worried Farmers” shed light on the challenges faced by farmers, including land ownership issues.
