granger
Rural organization member
Granger is a somewhat old-fashioned term for a farmer, particularly one who grows grain.
In American usage, it often refers specifically to a member of the Grange, a fraternal organization founded in 1867 to advocate for agricultural interests and rural communities.
The word appears frequently as a surname and occasionally as a given name.
The local grangers met to discuss crop prices and railroad rates.
