We all know that factory farms, especially feed lots and dairy operations, are prime sources of GHG's and this looks like we are not even going to measure what is going on.  Limiting GHG's, even mandating cogeneration facilities for all of that methane, would be a step in the right direction but it looks like we need a new kind Green Revolution in Agriculture.
