Cows themselves aren't the problem, not at all. The way cows are reared, that can be quite methany, true; but don't knock the cow. They don't deserve it. Cows can help sequester a shit-ton of carbon if they're allowed to do so, far more than they fart.

The drought will simply force agriculture to change, as it has over the last few decades. Since we've had extra energy, we've transformed ag to a less labor-intensive endeavor, with extra profits for the mechanizer. When we go back to a more labor-intensive process, the drought will mean less; but profits will decrease.

I'm hopeful that the change will be positive.
