In 1925 a breakaway from the Farmers' Union led to the establishment the New Farmers-Small Landowners Party, which had its roots in the BAS. The more radical BAS members remained in the Farmers' Union until 1928, when they also left to join the New Farmers-Small Landowners Party. In 1931 the more radical members left the party to establish the New Farmers' Association,[2] which won two seats in the 1931 elections.
