About This Book

A chronicle of pioneer farmers in western Canada that traces settlement along prairie trails and the rise of collective action to confront unfair grain marketing practices. It recounts meetings and grassroots organizing that overcame rural individualism to form territorial grain-growers associations, describes campaigns against private elevators and terminal systems, debates at grain exchanges and the pit, and the use of cooperation and political pressure across Saskatchewan and Alberta. Episodes combine local incidents, advocacy strategies, and organizational development, emphasizing ongoing struggles and the gradual construction of cooperative institutions.
