IOW staff a new agency to tell farmers how to run their business.

fed them more grass and less corn. Another is to turn the methane into energy. Take $50M from the state, ....... In California, methane from dairy farms accounts for up to 5 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions.

Dairy farms alone are 5% of GHG emissions? What about all the other livestock out there? The swine, beef cattle, poultry? There have to be a lot more Angus out there than there are Holsteins. If dairy cattle alone produce 5% of your GHG's, adding all the other livestock's manure must boost that percent pretty high.

And that let 'em eat more grass and less corn while capturing the manure idea ... here's a farm boy fact for ya: Putting cattle on grass means they're out in pastures more as opposed to standing at a feeding trough and eating grain. That complicates the capture of that methane producing manure because you can't train cattle to do their business where you want to collect it. They drop cow pies wherever they happen to be. Maybe the bright minds at the Dairy Cattle Methane Recovery Department can tell dairy operations to hire more illegals to scatter around the pastures with shovels collecting the manure.
