![["The report of the Administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration in 1946 highlights the increased demand for electricity by American farmers, the allocation of record loan funds to meet this demand, and the opposition faced from some segments of the utility industry. Despite challenges, rural electrification continued to progress, with REA borrowers building and energizing thousands of miles of power lines and serving more consumers. The report also emphasizes the importance of providing electricity to all rural areas and the success of locally owned and operated cooperative groups in solving their own problems and contributing to the nation's economy."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_66_0000-Rural%20Electrification%20Administration,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_66_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Rural America: 1946 Report of the Rural Electrification Administration")
