History
The party was formed in 1922 as a split from the Progressive Party, which had been formed by a merger of the original Farmers' Party and the Independent Farmers.[1] Its founders sought to establish a party that represented the interests of farmers, rather than appealing to the broader electorate.[2]
In the 1934 elections it won two seats in the Lower House and one seat in the Upper House of the Althing. It retained its two Lower House seats in the 1937 elections, but lost its seat in the Upper House.[3] It was dissolved in 1942.[4]

gollark: Oh, that would be fun.
gollark: I finally hooked my monitor up to my laptop so I can be ~~more productive~~ unproductive faster.
gollark: I don't think valgrind can detect race conditions!
gollark: Which is why we must delete C and use Rust, with its superior type system.
