Ireland to cease potato growing to meet climate targets

[andial]

Well actually it’s cows but I used potatos in the tiitle because it sounded good.

“Dutch and Irish politicians have failed to recognise that regenerative farming techniques allow livestock farmers to help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon in the soil. The technology needed to measure soil carbon accurately has recently been developed by a British company, Ecometric. The results are startling. Some British livestock farmers are now being paid for the net carbon sequestered into the soils after the methane from their burping cows has been accounted for. It would mean changing the way we farm to embrace holistic methods; mainly replacing cereal-based cattle diets with grass, but it can be done.”

Cows are designed to to eat pasture grass, not grains.

More BS from the liberals that believe in their weird weather religion.

True, but corning them off before slaughter makes for a better quality meat. My Black Angus are completely grass fed, but corn finished. I put them on a dry lot six weeks before they are slated to go to "camp" and pretty much feed them nothing but corn and water. This marbles the meat nicely and turns the fat from yellow to white, something most Americans are used to. We ranchers sometimes refer to grass finished beef as "Australian beef" as that is generally how they do it down under. A lot of European beef is grass finished as well which is why beef can taste very different over there.

Most Americans are well-marbled.

You should see how GMO corn affects your turds.

This could cause a potatoe famine...

How the War on Farmers Could Trigger a Famine

The problem is that the people on top, who see themselves as a distinct class and have huge amounts of both power and money, figure that they have the right to give orders to the plebs. They’re only marginally affected by the laws they pass.
