    Everything I’ve read has said the opposite, but I’m no farmer.

    I see lots of studies saying the grass and hay fed cattle produce more methane from the animals. Diets with high insoluble fiber are diets that create more methane. That said, grain production uses more CO2 than hay or pasture land.

    Best thing is low fiber greenery, but that shit is expensive, and industrial farming goes with grass or grain.

      Yeah, it’s the quality of the feed, not necessarily it being grain. I had added an edit but you probably were commenting before that.

        I don’t get why people have these kind of arguments without providing sources. It makes you both look argumentative and not very trustworthy.
