The farmers are not averse at all, in the sense of the climate.

I'd bet they're averse in the sense of the cost.

This makes perfect sense. People are made of, among other elements, carbon. Knee-cap your farmers so their products will not be price competitive. Fewer farmers, less food, less people.

NZ losers - Covid ultra lockdowned NZ has 4.794 million people and 25.97 million sheep in New Zealand. So they are going to get rid of half their sheep to stop global warming? Lamb meat exports bring in major earnings there.
____________

Top Sheep and Lamb Meat Exports by Country

Australia: US$2.6 billion (up 42.3% from 2016)
New Zealand: $2.5 million (up 37.4%)
United Kingdom: $560.3 million (up 26.8%)
Ireland: $390.1 million (up 32.4%)

The first sentence in this article:

The climate-damaging greenhouse gas methane...

Is an ENORMOUS LIE.

NO ONE has proven this to be true.

THERE IS NO PROOF THAT METHANE DAMAGES THE CLIMATE.

Furthermore---

THERE IS NO PROOF HUMAN ACTIVITY CHANGES THE CLIMATE.

Naturally occurring methane is found both below ground and under the seafloor and is formed by both geological and biological processes. How do you make it pay ? LOL

Nextrush :" It (Methane) is produced to a large extent in agriculture by the fermentation of feed.

So begins the war on domestic farm animals used for diary and meet production in New Zealand : taxation of domestic animals biologic digestive fumes.
The Prime Minister of New Zealand was a participant at Davos, and espouses the WEF concept of the "Great RESET".

The most damaging methane out there is that which is produced by politicians as they are involved in pulling their shenanigans on the people.

[[The climate-damaging greenhouse gas methane has risen at a record pace worldwide in the past year]]

Yeah gee, it might be all the way up to 0.000004% of the atmosphere by now

Actually a burp tax. Cows release 80% or more of their methane via the mouth. The gas is generated in the last three chambers of the rumen the cows multi chambered stomach. There is little to no gas created in the intestines of the cow. Unlike monogastric animals that have acidic stomachs and anaerobic intestines such as pigs or humans. By the time the digestate leaves the rumen it’s primarily acetic acid, and bacteria proteins which what the cows actually “eats” it’s symbiotic relationship with it’s rumen microfauna has converted cellulose/hemicellulose to acetic acid, some remaining glucose and pentose plus all this a wonderful bacteria that make that possible. Yes as a matter of fact I am a scientist.
