The Grangers, or the Patrons of Husbandry, were a fraternal organization of farmers founded in the United States in the late 19th century. They fought for the rights of farmers, advocating for better prices for agricultural products and fair treatment from railroads and grain elevators. Their efforts led to the establishment of cooperative buying and selling, as well as reforms in state laws to regulate railroad rates. The Granger movement also played a significant role in raising awareness about the struggles of rural communities during this period.
