Mythical "Cow Gas Tax"
We've had many questions about a cow tax. It was tax the number of cows because of the methane they produce in normal metabolism. The answer to the question is"there is no plan to enact such a tax". The rumor was started when EPA published an "Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" that outlined actions that would be needed should the Clean Air Act be applied green house gas emissions. The point they were making is that strict enforcement of the Clean Air Act would have devastating effects on every sector of the economy including agriculture. This information comes from Bryan Blinson from the North Carolina Cattlemen's Association.
