What was a action of farmers alliances?

Farmers' alliances were grassroots organizations formed in the late 19th century to address the economic struggles faced by farmers. They promoted cooperative buying and selling to counteract the monopolistic practices of railroads and grain elevator operators. Additionally, they advocated for political reforms, including the regulation of railroads and the establishment of a sub-treasury system to provide farmers with easier access to credit. These alliances eventually contributed to the formation of the Populist Party, which sought to represent the interests of agrarian and working-class Americans.
