Farmer seeks oil-style depletion for underground water
Marvin Shurbet testified in federal court that the High Plains Water table is dropping on his 480 acre Field County farm. He has five irrigation wells with depths rising from 200 feet in 1846 to 435 feet in 1957 and seeks a 1959 tax depletion allowance similar to oilmen. The case, a test matter for the High Plains Water Conservation District, could affect about 20,000 irrigation farmers with 60,000 wells across 5 million acres in 47 Panhandle counties.
