A syndicat agricole is a French speaking farmers' union.
The syndicats first formed after the Waldeck Rousseau law of 1884 legalised French unions. At the same time Catholic social teaching was evolving and encouraging the self help that the syndicats were capable of. They were often affiliated to and often led by the local aristocracy, called the syndicalisme des ducs. [1]
Many of these syndicats loosely belonged to the Union centrale des syndicats agricoles [2] which in the 1930s was transformed into the more centralised and politically assertive Union nationale des syndicats agricoles. The corporatism espoused by this group, and its allies in the Front paysan found an echo in the Peasant Corporation of the Vichy regime. This was the forerunner of the Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles which represents 20,000 syndicats. [3]
The Radicals also had a federation, the Confédération Nationale de la Mutualité, de la Coopération et du Crédit Agricoles. [4]
The French communist party also attempted to mirror some of these techniques to organise small farmers with less success, but this did culminate in setting up a front group, the Confédération générale des paysans travailleurs which was affiliated to the Red Peasant International. Later the left set up MODEF, the Mouvement de défense des exploitants familiaux.

The Peasant Corporation was a Paris-based organization created in Vichy France to support a corporatist structure of agricultural syndicates. The Ministry of Agriculture was unenthusiastic and undermined the corporation, which was launched with a provisional structure in 1941 that was not finalized until 1943. By then the small farmers and farm workers had become disillusioned since the corporation had maintained the privileged position of landowners and had not protected them from demands by the increasingly unpopular German occupiers. The corporation, which was never effective, was dissolved after the liberation of France in September 1944.
