Western Agricultural Group's Long Fight for Farmers Benefits
The article recalls the Western Agricultural Group's opposition to branch line abandonments, its push for equal coop treatment in the 1840s, and the Dominion Government's decision enabling farm payments. It notes the group's role defending the Crow Nest Pass freight rate, resisting higher domestic grain rail rates and demurrage on grain cars. It highlights 300 farmer delegates, provincial director representation, and J E Brownlee as president since 1948, succeeding R S Law.
