In rural Arkansas of the 1980s two sights defined progress the coal oil lamp and the home power plant. Roosevelt's REA idea started in 1935 to help bootstrap areas toward electricity and by 1937 Arkansas allowed cooperatives to borrow REA funds. Today 18 coops cover 62 percent of the state, serving thousands with lines, payrolls, and a simple path: form a cooperative, borrow, build lines, buy power, and serve customers.
