Electricity Use Booming Ahead on Iowa Farms
Iowa farm electricity use rises 10 to 20 percent yearly. In 1938 average farm energy was 500 kilowatts, now near 2,500 kilowatts annually. Postwar demand prompted distribution upgrades, with feeder lines shortened and substations expanded. Utilities warn shortages may persist at peak times. Beaty recommends shifting motor use from grinding feed to nonpeak hours and trimming yard and barn lights. Household tips urge early oven use and other load-shaving practices to ease chore-time strain.
