The United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) is an association of Alberta farmers that has served different roles in its 100-year history – as a lobby group, a successful political party, and as a farm-supply retail chain. As a political party, it formed the government of Alberta from 1921 to 1935.[1]
Since 1935, it has primarily been an agricultural supply cooperative headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. As of 2019[update], UFA operates 34 farm and ranch supply stores in Alberta[2] and over 110 fuel stations in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.[3]
