Farmers formed cooperatives, interest groups, and political parties to protest their declining fortunes and to increase their political and economic power. The Farmers' Alliance was an organized agrarian economic movement amongst U.S. farmers that flourished in the 1880s.

To cope with extreme weather conditions, farmers began to organize into groups called agricultural cooperatives or farmers' cooperatives. These cooperatives allowed farmers to share resources, knowledge, and support to better withstand the challenges posed by extreme weather events.
Various farm agencies along with supportive individuals were responsible for the formation of civil cooperatives but earlier cooperatives were started within local communities as a way to help one another survive as farmers. Farm cooperatives have been a major component of agricultural progression in society.
