Another way to save the environment..

This was farmland in the 1800s and maybe in the early part of the 20th century. Now this stone fence that once separated fields or defined a property line near New Hampshire's White Mountains is just a reminder of the state's agricultural past. In Pike this week for a family visit, I'm reminded every time I walk through the woods that cows used to graze where I now roam. The state's population shifted, people moved away, farming practices changed, and trees gradually returned to the fields.  Once 80 percent farmland, New Hampshire is now 80 percent forested, and has been credited by environmentalists with absorbing and sequestering tremendous amounts of carbon that would otherwise be accumulating in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and contributing to climate change.

Cows have been called walking smokestacks because of the amount of methane they produce. Cows are the single largest component of the dairy industry's carbon footprint. The U.S. Dairy and Dairy Management Inc.'s Innovation Center in Rosemont, Ill., is working on a project to reduce cows' methane production by 25 percent.  You can read about the project in tomorrow's edition of Lancaster Farming.

Johnny, for the last time, STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR BROCCOLI!
