Some science on ruminant grazing and GHG emissions

[grassfarmer]

A recent scientific paper by Richard Teague of Texas A&M and others highlighting the role grazing ruminants and different cropping systems offer to reduce GHG emissions in North America.

It's going to cool off pretty much down to the gulf of Mexico. Orange juice futures anyone?

Sounds like a plan!

We might need more cow farts to keep the pineapples from freezing, LOL

Cows don't fart nearly as much as they belch. On those grounds alone; we need to tax bad manners and such behavior. They only need further training and incentives to act appropriately.

Strange where all the posters that were desperate for proof that ruminant grazing could reduce GHG emissions went when presented with said evidence. A few attempts at jokes to distract and the rest as quiet as church mice.

Good research for combating the cow hater crowd.

That the best you can come up with checking? lol

One short term study and you call it proof? I hope they're right, but as an analyst once said, " Tell me what you want the study to show, and i can make it show it " And i bet that 97% of global warming scientists disagree with it right now. Has to be taken with a grain of salt.
