It will take a major operation to bring it up to present needs. When you wire your form, remember that your use of electricity will grow loo. Prevent needless cost and inconvenience later by doing a complete wiring job the first time. Provide fully for future as well as Immediate requirements. if you are lilce most people, you will begin electrification of your farm with a moderate amount of new equipment. The wise thing to do is to get "working equipment" first . . . things that will save labor and money, and increase production. Electric lights and a motor or two for grinding and pumping are typical "firsts". As your farm becomes more profitable through the use of low-cost Hydro, you will add many heme conveniences, and also many valuable aids for the barn, tool house and dairy. If you provide wiring and sufficient outlets from the beginning to serve all these you will save .money and have "adequate wiring". Any good electrical contractor or your Hydro rural superintendent will be glad to advise you on how to wire your farm wisely.
