LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Most residential neighborhoods were spared outages during last weekâs winter storms, but not the same can be said for the Ag industry.
At Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest, a select milk co-op in Littlefield, the machines are usually running 24/7.
That was, until about a week ago.
In an effort to curtail gas use, Atmos energy forced the facility to stop in its tracks for an entire week.
