Altering a bovines diet is thought to decrease emissions.

I personally am not worried about "cattle emissions", however, many in this country are.  FWIW, the linked article is positive towards forage/flax & negative towards corn & soy.  The people in the article claim that they have reduced "cow belches" by 13% & another herd has been reduced by 18%.  Another marketing tool for grassfed beef?  ???  Here is the link...

Everyone should get woried, the EPA wants a tax of 80.00 per head for cattle burps. Thats from all cattle.

I thought they had to have a certain number of head to get taxed, and the numbers for beef and dairy were different.

I think you have to have 50 head or more. All of this money the government is spending has to come from somewhere.I thought he wasn't going to raise taxes on 90% of Americans???

Yeah, and he was gonna keep all those great promises too. 

If they really wanted to be "green" they could include rumensin in the diet and further reduce methane
