What is a Grange?

Granges are a remnant of a once flourishing agricultural movement called the "Patrons of Husbandry" and was established by a Minnesota farmer in 1867. Granges were started after the civil war as an attempt to educate and organize farmers in new and more efficient farming techniques, organize farmers against price fixing by the railroads and fight high interest rates on bank loans.

A primary issue for Colorado grange members was protection of water rights for agricultural use and their concerns about the state legislature giving away the control of Colorado rivers and streams. In 1876, the State Board of Agriculture was formed with seven of its eight seats held by grange members.
