HUH! Stopping feeding cows corn will prevent farts??
Just WHERE did you come up with THAT bit of b.s.
As a farm kid I milked the family cow and can assure that pastured cows do indeed fart.

Speaking of putting gasses into the environment..
When these folks can prevent all the horrendous gasses that volcanoes belch into the atmosphere by the ton. THEN, and only then, can they attempt to regulate anything else.

I shouldn’t have not. But it will lessen it by 13-18%.

Being a farmboy, I don’t recall a whole lot of excessive flatulence from the cows, and we did feed them corn, but I guess, whatever.
