Abstract

Federated Farmers gestation is investigated noting that farming’s diverse aspects, together with farmers’ individualism and differing regional viewpoints, makes collective action difficult. In the early twentieth century, a Farmers’ Union, Sheepowners’ Federation and Fruitgrowers’ Federation Ltd were formed separately. The three organisations’ shared interests led to cooperative action in the 1930s. The need for strong representation was strengthened when New Zealand elected its first Labour Government, perceived to be biased against farmers. Farmers’ many shared perceptions led in 1941 to a loose federation with the leaders of the main organisations meeting regularly. That step was encouraged by seeing an urban trade unions’ federation successfully winning preferment for its policies from Government.
