	Patrons Oxford History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Two companies were formed, Oxford County Patrons of Husbandry Mutual Fire Insurance Company was established in Oxford County on May 5th in 1876 and a year later, May 5, 1877, Patrons Androscoggin Mutual Fire Insurance Company was founded in Androscoggin County.
		Their reasons for organizing the companies were simple; insurance costs were extremely high on farm properties so they banded together, in a very Maine way, and agreed to share the cost of any loss suffered by one of their subscribers.
		Patrons Oxford’s conversion to a Stock Company and the acquisition of the stock of the converted company by Quincy Mutual of Quincy, Massachusetts on December 30, 1997 provided Patrons Oxford with growth capital and strengthened the Quincy Group’s position in the Maine marketplace.

		Patrons of Husbandry.—At the close of the great Civil war in 1865 the agricultural interests of the country were in anything but a prosperous condition.

		Although there are still numerous granges of the Patrons of Husbandry scattered over the country, the order is far less active than it was in the latter '70s, and it is quite possible that the organic provision prohibiting political action or discussion is in some degree responsible for the lack of interest in recent years.

	whatsthegrange
		The Grange, formally known as the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, was the life-long dream of a pioneer Minnesota farmer, Oliver Hudson Kelley.
		It was his conviction that during the Reconstruction period a group that emphasized fraternal brotherhood and good will would do the most to heal the breach between North and South by uniting all farmers in a common goal of improving their own lives, as well as agriculture's lot.
		The National Grange was officially organized Dec. 4, 1867, in a formal session of some of the Grange's so-called "seven founders." The meeting was held in the office of William Saunders, who was an authority on horticultural matters and superindendant of the capital gardends and grounds for the Bureau of Agriculture.

	Strader v. Grange Mutual Insurance Co.(2002) * Oregon
		Defendant maintained that it could not be taxed for attorney fees because, as a "patrons of husbandry association," it was exempt under ORS 731.032(4), and that prejudgment interest was inappropriate because the exact amount of damages was not easily ascertainable.
		The decision whether an organization qualifies for a statutory exemption from the insurance code is delegated by statute to the Director, and plaintiffs simply do not attempt to demonstrate why or how the Director has erred, for example by exempting an organization that does not meet specified criteria or by violating some procedural rule.
		Plaintiffs also contend that, even if defendant qualifies for the statutory exemption, we must nonetheless apply the general statute that provides for attorney fee recovery in "any court of this state upon any policy of insurance of any kind or nature," ORS 742.061, because it is unambiguous.

		The patrons would purchase of no one except their agent, and as business interests and courtesies are mutual and reciprocal, the general merchant felt under no obligation to buy the produce of the farmer.
		Not withstanding the monotonous character of his duties, it may be stated with the utmost degree of assurance, that the grangers' agent maintained a greater degree of composure than the patrons themselves, and seldom permitted himself to be annoyed by any relation of their losses.
		Another mistake, and the one most fatal to the interests of the order, was the desire to control the legislation of the state in their own interest by the election of members of their organization to the state legislature.
