The National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry was founded by who?
Oliver KellyInnovation and industry produced special equipment to plow the dense soil. The new equipment was expensive. Many farmers went into debt to afford equipment and depended upon abundant harvests. Commercial farm activity eventually took hold in the West. The businesses supplied the necessary equipment and told the farmers what to plant. These large businesses tried to control the price and supply of wheat, corn, and other crops that could be grown in the dry conditions. Local groups of small farmers began to socialize and learn from each other. They began to form clubs and became known as grangers, taken from the Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, an organization founded by agriculturist Oliver Hudson Kelley. The word grange means "farm building" or "a place to store grain." The Grangers became more politically focused in response to corporations who tried to monopolize railroad use and warehouse space to store goods prior to movement. The Grange members operated cooperative stores and mills in an effort to gain more control of the prices of their goods.
