Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Rural Electrification Administration (1935–1985), this 22¢ commemorative celebrates the transformation of America’s countryside through electric power. The design shows rolling farmland, a classic barn and silo, and a lineman working on a utility pole—symbolizing progress and connectivity. Its warm rural palette and clean graphic style reflect 1980s USPS commemorative artistry. A meaningful thematic piece for agriculture, industry, and infrastructure collectors. Popular in Americana and social-history collections, especially in mint singles or plate blocks.
