Changing this will likely require removal of hemp as a controlled substance under the Texas Penal code, passing statutes naming a state agency to draft regulations related to hemp production, and then that designated agency (likely the Texas Department of Agriculture) promulgating rules related to hemp production.\u00a0 There is at least one bill currently pending in the Texas Legislature, SB 116, that would allow hemp production and research in the state.\u00a0 [Read bill <a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/tlodocs\/86R\/billtext\/pdf\/SB00116I.pdf#navpanes=0\">here<\/a>.]\u00a0 For more details on the current status of hemp and what the new Farm Bill provisions authorize, <a href=\"https:\/\/farmoffice.osu.edu\/blog\/thu-12272018-541pm\/hemp-one-hemp-all%C2%A0-farm-bill-industrial-hemp-and-what-it-means-ohio\">read this blog post<\/a> from my friend Peggy Kirk Hall at Ohio State University.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*US Supreme Court declines to consider cases challenging California &amp; Massachusetts animal welfare laws.<\/strong>\u00a0 You may recall from <a href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2018\/01\/15\/egg-production-practices-subject-supreme-court-lawsuits\/\">this prior blog post<\/a>\u00a0that numerous states, including Texas, filed lawsuits against California and Massachusetts alleging that the states&#8217; animal welfare laws related to egg production violated the dormant commerce clause and were unconstitutional.\u00a0 Essentially, the plaintiff states argued that while CA and MA can pass laws regarding agricultural practices in their own states, they should not be able to govern practices in other states by requiring all products sold&#8211;not just raised&#8211;in the state to comply with the states&#8217; rules.\u00a0 \u00a0Earlier this month, the US Supreme Court denied the petitions to file the cases.\u00a0 [Read article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningagclips.com\/us-supreme-court-declines-involvement-in-egg-law\/\">here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>* Guidebook for dairy farmers on milk supply contracts available.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>My friends and Indiana-based ag lawyers Todd Janzen and Brianna Schroeder recently published a great resource for everyone involved in the dairy industry.\u00a0 Their &#8220;Understanding Milk Supply Contracts&#8221; publication walks dairy producers through various common terms found in milk supply contracts and compares similar terms across several different contracts and purchasers.\u00a0 This guidebook is available for free by contacting Todd or Brianna <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aglaw.us\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Programs Next Week<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Next week, I&#8217;ll be headed to my friends in East Texas!\u00a0 On Wednesday, I&#8217;ll be speaking at our Ranchers Leasing Workshop, which will be held in conjunction with the NE Texas Cattleman&#8217;s Conference in Quitman.\u00a0 Thursday evening, I&#8217;ll be in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ntxe-news.com\/artman\/publish\/article_113860.shtml\">Hallsville<\/a> talking estate planning.\u00a0 On Friday, I&#8217;ll wrap up the week in Kilgore speaking at the <a href=\"https:\/\/gregg.agrilife.org\/event\/value-of-land-seminar-landowner-liability-water-law-oil-gas-law-fence-law-ag-leases\/\">Value of Land Seminar<\/a> on a variety of legal issues with fellow ag lawyers, Jim Bradbury and Jordan Hayes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ranchers Leasing Workshop is now available on demand to be taken anytime at your own pace.
