The Kansas Country Living magazine is designed to educate Kansas electric cooperative consumer-members on topics that impact rural electrification.
Each Rolling Hills Electric member receives a copy of the Kansas Country Living magazine each month. This magazine is a cost-effective way for Kansas electric cooperatives to communicate with their members on a consistent basis. While the main magazine publishes a variety of useful and entertaining content, upon turning to the center pages of the magazine, members will find Rolling Hills Electric news, updates and announcements specific to our members.
