Back in the day, neighbors banded together and formed Farmers Electric Cooperative for the common good. In our case, it was the only way the community could bring electricity to the area where there was none. In doing so, our co-op helped the community thrive. That mission-focused heritage is the golden thread that is woven throughout our history.

Today, we are continuing to power the community. While our focus has remained steady on providing reliable energy to our members, today’s energy landscape and consumer expectations are far different than they were decades ago. That’s why we’re adapting, keeping pace with changing technology and evolving needs. 

Serving as your trusted energy advisor means we want to help you save energy (and money) and provide advice and information on a broad range of energy topics. For example, if you’re looking for ways to save energy, follow us on Facebook or visit our Web site, www.farmersrec.com for ideas. Understanding how your home uses energy can help determine the best ways to modify energy use and thereby keep more money in your wallet. 

If you’re considering a rooftop solar installation, we would be happy to give you an unbiased view of the pros and cons. Investing in a solar system is a major decision, and it’s important to fully understand the costs, responsibilities and potential energy savings. Unlike a solar company that has one objective–to sell their products and services–we will look at the total energy picture and help you determine the best options for you. We understand that homeowners must undertake their due diligence, and we’re here to help you through that process. 

In a similar vein, we recognize that many members are considering electric vehicle options. Farmers Electric can provide you with information about EV charging needs at home so you can make an informed decision. We also offer rebates on EV chargers. 

So, the next time you hear us use the phrase “we’re here to serve you,” we hope you know that we mean it. We continue to evolve with the times, and in return, we’ve found additional ways to serve you and provide more options for you to power your life. However you connect with us (online, in person, on social media), please let us know how we can serve you better.
