The Grange and Farmers' Alliances organized farmers to address common economic grievances and sought to improve their conditions through collective action, education, and advocacy for political reforms. They highlighted issues such as railroad monopolies, high interest rates, and unfair pricing, fostering a sense of solidarity among farmers.
