Wait until YOUR taxes go up ! ! !

Cow farts may cost ranchers

In KOTA Territory, it is the smell of money. And, each cow belches and flatulates 500 liters of methane a day.

Emissions, the government may tax.

Ranchers at the Belle Fourche Livestock Exchange say that stinks.

"It's ridiculous. Anybody that can think of something like that doesn't have much to do," Tom Connelly, a rancher said.

"It just seems like another way to put pressure on the cow man," Jerry Kuhbacher, a rancher said.

Under the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency considers regulating and charging fees for greenhouse gas emissions from Ollie, cars, and even cattle.

It's estimated to cost about $88 dollars per head each year.

"There's no need to tax cows for emissions that are natural things that they do," Connelly said.

Senator John Thune agrees and promises to do all he can to stop the EPA from taxing livestock and hurting the ranching industry in KOTA Territory.

"That's something that could have tremendous ramifications on South Dakota's economy," Thune said.

"It would put 99.9 percent of the ranchers out of business," Connelly said.

While ranchers and Thune turn up their noses at the notion that cattle pollute, "To think for a minute that livestock production is contributing in a more significant way to the problem of global warming and green house gas emissions than are some of these other sources. It really is almost laughable," Thune said.

Some scientists say it's no joke. They say methane gas has 20 times more impact on global warming than carbon dioxide. Agriculture produces an estimated 37 percent of global methane emissions.

"There's a whole lot more pollution from people than there ever has been from cattle or livestock," Connelly said.

Ranchers here say they're not oblivious to the science, but the law doesn't pass the smell test.

"Everybody wants to save the planet but look this isn't the way to do it," Connelly said.

So far, the EPA has not proposed a formal livestock emissions tax.

The agency released the rule-making notice to highlight the implications of using the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases.

OK, let me get this straight.
I pay 88 dollars and get to fart anywhere and as often as I like?

YES, I'm going to the sierra club.

Good friend

These are always good. The night or day before a snowmobile trip I try and get myself some high octane fuel(Hooters wings-White castle sliders, and a good dark beer) for the truck ride. By the time this stuff gets mixed together and released it will either discolor the bowl and or peal the paint off the walls.So the objecive of the game is to be driving when complete fermentation has been achieved. Let one go and lock the windows, have already had a few friend dry heave, or just open the door, but the best compliment is when they wake from a good sleep asking if you just drove by a cattle farm in Nebraska.

Ever blast one off while wearing your full gear?

The extreme bibs channels the gasses up to the coat.
The coat feeds it to the helmet.
You try to convince your riding buddies that you stopped to take a breather, not because your eyes are watering so bad you can't see.

coveralls (especially the tyvek ones) are the best

about 15 years ago, I was working in Northern Alberta selling radio dispatch equipment. I had sold a large piece to Al Pac pulp mill. Myself an two technicians were on the way to install it. I was sitting in the back of the Chevy Van on top of the Base Station cabinet while they yakked in the front seats.

The night before, my mother in law made some Trinidad curry for me. It was incredible but the pepper sauce was, by far, the hottest thing I had ever eaten. She made it for me because I was coming down with the flu and she swore that super hot food, rum, and some sleep would be the best cure.

We are driving up to the plant and my insides are a raging sea of fire. The van is very loud so they couldn't hear the gurgling noises emminating from the rear. Finally, I can't keep it in any longer. I let got he longest silent foulest thing I have ever experienced. it was so bad that I could hardly stand it.

The Phillipino guy in the passenger seats lets out a loud "aw jeez" and then rolls up the window. For the next 5 minutes, we all suffered.

Round 2 comes and the same thing happens. I let out some silent death, the Phillipino guys swears and then rolls up his window. We all suffer.

Finally, on the third round, he screams out "damned chicken farms" as he rolls up the window. I started laughing so hard, I almost fell to the floor.

Lol this was ***gin hilarious. damned chicken farms!!!!
