Farmer-Labor Movement

The Farmer-Labor Movement was a political effort in the early 20th century that aimed to improve conditions for farmers and industrial workers. It sought to address issues like low crop prices, unfair labor practices, and economic inequality. The movement often supported progressive reforms, pushing for better wages, fair treatment, and government policies to assist rural and working-class communities. In some regions, it led to the formation of political parties, such as the Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota, which promoted social justice and economic fairness for ordinary people involved in agriculture and industry.
