Farmers Face Gas Curtailment Threat for Irrigation
In Lubbock and other cities, farmers argued before Judge Curtis L. Wagner Jr that curtailing natural gas for irrigation would force costly equipment changes or loss of crops. They contended alternate fuels are unavailable or unaffordable, and the FPC previously treated irrigation gas as a priority issue with possible process gas status. The judge heard 46 witnesses and 1,456 attendees over two days, with a ruling due in 14 days and a 30 day appeal window before final FPC decision.
