The solution of the strike, trough the arbitration of President Marcelo T. de Alvear, brings substantial changes in the operation of the sugar industry, especially in their distributive patterns. This «cañeros’ version» of agrarianism vindicated the necessary participation of small and medium- sized sugar cane producers as a proof of the social democracy in the rural scene, denounced the abuses by the ingenios and maintained the necessity that sugar cane producers obtained an adequate retribution by their production. This conception not only gave life to this social movement; its peculiarity consisted in its political projection, because the political parties that integrated the provincial legislative body adopted these postulates, and besides it gave birth to a new organization, the Agrarian Party, that obtained a legislative representation at the end of the decade. En el marco de una persistente coyuntura de sobreproducción azucarera, los productores de caña de azúcar de Tucumán, denominados «cañeros», configuraron un pensamiento agrarista que dio contenido a un agudo conflicto social entablado contra los ingenios azucareros que desembocó en la primera huelga de productores agrarios de la provincia en 1927. La resolución de la misma, con la participación del presidente de la Nación Marcelo T. de Alvear a través de fallos arbitrales, modificó sustancialmente el funcionamiento de la agroindustria azucarera tucumana en lo relativo a sus patrones distributivos. El agrarismo manifestado en clave cañera reivindicaba la presencia necesaria del pequeño y mediano productor de materia prima como una prueba de la democracia social en el medio rural, denunciaba las prácticas abusivas de los ingenios y sostenía la necesidad de asegurarle al plantador una retribución mínima por su cosecha. Esta concepción no sólo animó un movimiento social, su singularidad consistió en su proyección política puesto que sus postulados fueron incorporados por los partidos políticos actuantes en la Legislatura provincial y por una nueva organización, el Partido Agrario, que alcanzó representación legislativa a finales de la década.
