There are several factors that could have contributed to a decline in Grange membership, but one of the most likely factors is the gradual shift from a largely agrarian society to a more urban and industrialized society. As farming practices became more mechanized and consolidated, the power and influence of traditional agricultural organizations like the Grange began to decline. Additionally, changing social and economic demographics, as well as shifting priorities among rural residents, may have also played a role in the decline of Grange membership.
