In the late 1800s, the Granger Movement sought to improve conditions for farmers by advocating for better prices for crops and fairer railroad rates. They organized cooperative buying and selling to bypass middlemen and reduce costs.

Their efforts laid the groundwork for future agricultural and labor movements.
