to speak, especially Austin Voyles, Fred Hall, Roger Bippert, and Rick Maxwell.\u00a0 Welcome to the new readers from these presentations!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few ag law stories in the news this last week\u00a0of August.<\/p>\n<p><strong>* Oil Companies Turn to Recycled Water for Fracking.<\/strong>\u00a0 Two articles outlined oil and gas companies&#8217; attempts to turn to recycled water for fracking operations.\u00a0 First, the Dallas News reported that for every barrel of oil produced, more than a barrel of water is produced with it.\u00a0 This water is frequently disposed of beneath the ground, but companies are beginning to investigate recycling and reusing this water in the fracking process.\u00a0 It is estimated that in the Permian and the Eagle Ford, only about 10-20% of water used in oil and gas production is recycled, but that number is expected to more than double in the next 10 years.\u00a0 [Read article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/business\/energy\/20140809-fracking-companies-begin-slow-shift-to-recycling-wastewater.ece\">here<\/a>.]\u00a0 One example of this is Pioneer Natural Resources , an oil and gas company currently working on a pipeline project that would allow the company to purchase treated effluent water from the City of Odessa for use in fracking operations.\u00a0 The company believes this project will decrease their water costs&#8211;currently running $.50\u00a0 to $1.50 per 42 gallon\u00a0barrel\u00a0in the Permian Basin&#8211;to approximately $.27 a barrel.\u00a0 The water is not suitable for drinking and is currently treated and dumped into the Monahans Draw.\u00a0 The City will also receive economic benefit from this partnership, predicting that it could gain up to $100 million in new revenue over the next 10 years, money that could be used to seek alternative drinking water sources.\u00a0 [Read article <a

Litigation.<\/strong>\u00a0 This article discusses the uptick of groundwater litigation across the state of Texas.\u00a0 As the article explains, it is well settled that Texas groundwater is owned by the owner of the overlying land and governed by the rule of capture.\u00a0 However, this ownership right is subject to regulation by local Groundwater Conservation Districts and the scope of proper regulations is often where the litigation comes in.\u00a0 [Read article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ksat.com\/content\/pns\/ksat\/news\/2014\/08\/27\/texas-sees-uptick-in-groundwater-litigation.html\">here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>* High Plains Underground Water Conservation District Passes New Rules, Effective January 2015.\u00a0 <\/strong>The High Plains Underground Water Conservation District has passed new rules that require groundwater users to measure and limit the amount of water pumped within the HPUWCD&#8217;s jurisdiction, which includes all or part of Deaf Smith, Potter, Randall, Armstrong, Parmer, Castro, Swisher, Bailey, Lamb, Hale, Floyd, Cochran, Hockley, Lubbock, Crosby, and Lynn counties.\u00a0 Producers may measure production with meters or other approved\u00a0techniques set forth in the revised rules\u00a0and must file annual reports containing these measurements.\u00a0 Additionally, landowners are not permitted to pump more than1.5 acre feet of water per year for each acre of water right owned.\u00a0 [Read article <a

GMO Labeling Law Will Be on Colorado and Oregon\u00a0Ballots.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Colorado and Oregon\u00a0voters will consider a proposition on\u00a0their respective November ballots\u00a0that would require labeling of any foods containing genetically modified organisms in their ingredients.\u00a0 [Read articles <a

argue that consumers have the right to know what is in their food, while opponents claim that GMOs are safe and the labeling requirements would confuse consumers.\u00a0 A Vermont\u00a0GMO labeling bill is currently\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2014\/07\/03\/july-3-2014-weekly-round-up\/\">facing legal challenges<\/a>.\u00a0 Bills have also been passed in Maine and <a href=\"http:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2013\/07\/11\/july-12-2013-weekly-round-up\/\">Connecticut<\/a>, but go into effect only if other neighboring states pass similar laws.<\/p>\n<p><strong>* Hawaii Judge Strikes Pesticide Disclosure and GMO Reporting Law.<\/strong>\u00a0 A federal district judge has stricken Kauai&#8217;s Ordinance 960, which required disclosure of the use of certain pesticides, imposed a buffer zone if certain\u00a0pesticides were to be used, and\u00a0\u00a0required farmers to make annual public disclosures if growing genetically modified crops.\u00a0 Specifically, the court found that the state statutory provisions regarding pesticide use pre-empted the local law.\u00a0 The judge reasoned that because the state Department of Agriculture was granted the power to develop and enforce pesticide laws and local and county governments were not included in the framework of laws surrounding pesticide use, it was the legislature&#8217;s intent that the state have exclusive authority over this issue.\u00a0 [Read full opinion <a

it is fair season in many areas across the country, I wanted to share an article by Baxter Black explaining the value of county fairs.\u00a0 [Read article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.progressivedairy.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;id=3999:on-the-edge-of-common-sense-county-fairs-why\">here<\/a>.]\u00a0 Having been involved in 4-H and FFA myself, many of my best childhood memories involve county fairs or other stock shows.\u00a0 I cannot speak highly enough about the benefits of these youth programs and the livestock showing projects in particular.\u00a0 As Baxter Black says, &#8220;The list of &#8216;essential professions is a short one.\u00a0 That&#8217;s the reality of real life.\u00a0 Farm kids hold our future in their hands.\u00a0 They are in training to feed the world.\u00a0 And fair board members and county agents get it.&#8221;\u00a0 Thank you to all you fair board members, show parents, ag teachers, and 4-H agents for all of your hard work at the fairs!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1907\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
