7. Portrait of America. No. 36. Rural electrification in the U.S. This electrical milking machine is sanitary, simple to operate, and enables U.S. farmers to own large herds of dairy cows and market dairy products with a great saving of time and labor. Electricity for these U.S. farms is provided through a great number of farmers' cooperative groups which distribute electric power at low rates. The power is purchased wholesale from private and public utility power plants, and is distributed over lines built with money loaned by the U.S. Electrification Administration. Some of the groups generate their own power or else have joined with other rural electric distribution cooperatives to operate their own large generating plants 1942 June

8. Portrait of America. No. 36. Rural electrification in the U.S. These electric brooders on a modern electrified American farm are synthetic hens that don't step on their own chickens. The electric cover or "hover" hanging over the young chicks maintains a uniform temperature with no fire hazard and effects a larger saving in labor than any other kind of brooder. U.S. farms use electric appliances such as this to increase the food supply for the United Nations' war effort. The light and power are secured from public and private utilities or from U.S. farmers' cooperatives, financed with the aid of the American government's Rural Electrification Administration (REA) [between 1940 and 1946]

9. Portrait of America. No. 36. Rural electrification in the U.S. This modern American building houses the offices of the Middle Tennessee Electric Corporation in the Eastern U.S. This is a farmers' cooperative group which organized to bring electricity to farms and homes in the country on an economic non-profit basis. They secured a loan from the U.S. Rural Electrification Administration to build their distribution lines and other facilities. This cooperative group distributes power from a government-owned power plant to more than 6,000 members. Headquarters like this often become the social centers of their communities.

11. Portrait of America. No. 36. Rural electrification in the U.S. These giant generators in the eastern U.S. state of Tennessee are operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Pickwick Dam powerhouse on the Tennessee River. This plant transmits power to farms, villages, towns and cities in a wide area of the Tennessee Valley. Notice the figure of the man standing on the third generator from the camera. In recent years through farmers' cooperative groups, the electrification of farms and rural areas in the U.S. has brought about the construction of hundreds of large and small power plants in all parts of the country [between 1940 and 1946]
