The Grange is more than an Agricultural organization. it is a GREAT RURAL/URBAN FRATERNITY. the only one of its kind in the world. The Grange, although different things to different people, is dedicated to improving the economic well-being and quality of life of the American Agriculture producer and his urban neighbors.
The Grange is non-sectarian but supports a belief in God. It stresses patriotism, but is non-partisan. Each Grange, opening in regular form, must have the open Bible displayed and the American flag displayed in the hall. The new member receives the from the Subordinate Grange the first four degrees, the Pomona Grange confers the Fifth Degree, the State Grange confers the Sixth Degree, and National Grange the Seventh Degree.
It is believed the name "Grange" originated in England; early English farms were called "Granges". Many of the titles of the Grange officers come from the same source. For instance, in England the owner of the farm was called the "Master".
