JUNE 9, 2011: FARMERS ARRIVE AT AGREEMENT IN WATER RIGHTS CASE

As you are aware, the amount of all irrigation water rights is being determined in the Lower Rio Grande water rights adjudication. NMPG has successfully worked with farmer groups and EBID to arrive at an equitable proposed settlement of the water requirements for all crops. The terms of the "Agreement for Settlement in Principle" can be read here (insert link). The proposed settlement is not yet finalized and NMPG will soon be holding two membership meetings to explain its terms. If the adjudication court approves the final agreement, this new agreement will supersede the Pecan Settlement.

Download the agreement (pdf - 2.7mb)

Hard copies of the proposed settlement are also available for pick up at the Farm Credit Office at 2800 Las Vegas Ct (map). off of Motel Blvd. in Las Cruces.

NMPG will be contacting NMPG members with the dates and times for the membership meetings soon.
