He also examines the role of farmers' organizations, such as the United Farmers of Canada, in advocating for the interests of farmers and shaping agricultural policy.Irvine also delves into the political philosophy of farmers, arguing that their values and beliefs are often at odds with those of other groups in society. He explores the ways in which farmers have organized politically, both in Canada and in other countries, and the impact that these movements have had on national politics.Overall, ""The Farmers in Politics"" is a comprehensive examination of the relationship between farmers and politics in Canada.
