Each October, electric cooperatives across the country celebrate National Co-op Month and the cooperative model that has served rural communities for generations.

This fall, McKenzie Electric Cooperative shared electrical safety lessons with students, members and local first responders through live demonstrations.

For many farmers and ranchers, power lines are simply part of the landscape. National Farm Safety & Health Week is a good reminder to slow down and make electrical safety part of the daily routine.

This year, MEC employees took part in more than 15 events, from county fairs and safety demonstrations to local markets and community celebrations.
