UFAW (United Farmers of Alberta)

UFAW, originally the United Farmers of Alberta, was a prominent farmer organization formed in the early 20th century to advocate for farmers’ rights, fair prices, and agricultural development in Alberta. It functioned as a cooperative, helping members access supplies, marketing, and political representation to address rural concerns. Over time, UFA evolved into a broader agricultural supplier and financial services organization, continuing to serve farmers and rural communities with resources, insurance, and support, while maintaining its roots in advocating for the interests of Alberta’s farming population.
