…I, uh, yeah.
WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) — The U.S. dairy industry wants to engineer the “cow of the future” to pass less gas, a project aimed at cutting the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020, industry leaders said Monday.
The cow project aims to reduce intestinal methane, the single largest component of the dairy industry’s carbon footprint, said Thomas P. Gallagher, chief executive officer of the U.S. Dairy and Dairy Management Inc.’s Innovation Center in Rosemont, Ill.
I regularly get insults referencing Wisconsin’s reputation for cheese. I guess now our reputation will be for not cutting it as much.
Yeah, I’m sorry I typed that, but I really don’t know what else to say. You say it.

After a while you get yourself an organic airship.

Why in the heck is this organization in Rosemont? Rosemont borders O’Hare airport and is extremely small in land area. Please be on the lookout for cows for the final 15 seconds of your flight when you land at O’Hare.
The beef will probably sequester the methane and cause more, ummmm, robust meat farts from men.

GEEZ Mad! How are we suppose to fund the Renewable Resources of Methane Tomorrow without the COW FART!
Give the Cow’s Grain for bloat, or give them HAY!
