Kentucky is one of the 45 states to send a youth delegation to the annual electric cooperative youth tour.

Farmers RECC was formed in 1938 and is owned by the members they serve.   Farmers provides electric service to over 26,000 services, in eleven Kentucky counties. Today more than 900 electric cooperatives provide reliable and technologically advanced service to 40 million Americans while maintaining a consumer-focused approach to business.
