Electrical service to rural areas and farms became a 1935 New Deal priority without competing with or regulating private enterprise. The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) provided funds to local cooperatives who did the rest. By 1939, 288,000 households were receiving power through cooperatives and electrical service on farms had gone from 11% in 1934 to 50% in 1942. Ten years later, it reached almost all farms. It was a miracle back then which is taken for granted by most people today.
