The "Patrons of Husbandry," commonly known as the Grange, is a fraternal organization founded in 1867 in the United States. It was established to support farmers and promote agricultural interests, providing a platform for education, social interaction, and economic cooperation among its members. The Grange aimed to improve the quality of life for rural communities through collective action and advocacy. The organization played a significant role in addressing issues such as fair pricing, rural education, and agricultural practices. Over the years, the Grange has evolved, but it continues to focus on community service and the promotion of sustainable agriculture, reflecting the changing needs of its members.
