Right about a week several times. I've got a 19 KW diesel generator that will take care of the farm when it does off. I usually wait a couple of hours just to see, but then I fire it up. I hate to wait too long as the block heater on the generator goes off with the power and I have to be able to get her started! Th block heater just stays plugged in all winter as the power is a bit unpredictable. The winter is worse and there are lots of heated waterers around here. It would be worse to take care of all of that frozen up than anything else.
Power outages usually run about one a month with usually one or two a year that is 24-48 hours. There aren't many farms on this leg so it isn't a huge priority. I'm about 30 miles from KC but still have the same power company. The folks in the city certainly get priority. Then won't know what to do without their computer or heat.
It hasn't happened in several years, but for a long time we would loose power on only one leg of the line. Not completely, but enough that all of the ceiling fans would just barely turn. The power company kept telling me it wasn't possible until I proved it to a lineman.
