The Rural Electrification Act and Agriculture

Rural electrification affect agriculture profoundly. Electricity in rural areas drives all work there, and without, 98% of productivity stops. The ACT was a project implemented within the United States in the second quarter of the twentieth century by the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), a federal agency established in 1935. Agriculture is benefited greatly with the advent of electricity to power equipment, lights, and processing units.
