Here’s a little fun fact for you today! If America could reduce national cow fart production by 25%, it would be equal to removing the greenhouse-gas emissions of 1.25 million cars. Yep, that’s a lot of cow toots. And if the US Dairy and Dairy Management Inc. has their way, all 25% of those offending farts will be snatched from the air by 2020. From WEAU.com …

• It's a problem because the gas is largely methane, which can contribute to global warming.
• With 9 million dairy cows across the nation, that's a lot of greenhouse-gas emissions. About 14 percent of those cows are in Wisconsin. …
• One possible solution is changing cow feed. Early research suggests adding fish oil can cut methane production. Another solution could be to modify the microbes in the cows' gut.

This is all fine and good, but I dream of day when things like cow farts no longer exist. Let’s aim for a cow fart-free American by 2030!
