No one answered my question about how coops happened and their origin. It all came from a federal REA bill in 1935.
Let me rant a little.
Before this tread gets too old and cold, I want you to think about what you have just said.
You “ALL” said you like your coop electric and it is reliable and responsive. You own it jointly and both the price and the service is very good.
A few points to think about…if you will read it and think about it.
1) That coop is only there now, 75 years later, because our federal government had the vision and the ability to do what the people could not do for themselves, ie: loan them money to build lines and supply rural power, based on a the Federal REA loan bill of 1935. Not a company,…the government …loaned the money that the poor farmers did not have, to give them the wonder of electric service in their remote homes..
2) Your coop, is not free enterprise. It is a jointly owned non-profit ..(socialism?) for your benefit, and apparently it is doing a pretty good job.
So the next time someone starts ranting about how the government never does anything right…remind him that the heat, light and power that your family has enjoyed for the last 75 years, in Rural America….was possible because of the vision and loans from that the godaweful government…

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
