Jacques Le Roy Ladurie served as its general secretary. It published the journal Syndicats paysans.
In the 1935 Henry Dorgeres the founder of the Comités de défense paysanne stood unsuccessfully for the Loir-et-Cher department under the Front paysan's banner, where he was narrowly defeated in the second round of voting by the Radical-Socialist candidate Émile Laurens.[2]
The Front's ambiguous view towards Republican institutions meant that it did not have support from the Croix de Feu.[3]
The Front fell apart in 1936 due to differences in political strategy.[4]
