Cutting Cow Pollution
Ok, so... Remember how in that video we watched in class they were talking about how cow's manure contains methane and nitrogen? and then remember how they were saying that it is polluting our streams and rivers? This article I read (http://www.scenta.co.uk/scenta/news.cfm?cit_id=1666211&FAArea1=widgets.content_view_1) has a very simple, cost effective sollution. This plant, all natural of course, sainfoin, allows the cows to absorb more of their nutrients... thus less stuff comes out of the back of the cow, thus... less methane and nitrogen.

I say let's give the cows the "healthy hay"! I never knew that cows cause pollution before this class. This Sain Fois should definately be a part of a cows diet. Very interesting Kayti!
so does this mean they are cutting down on the smell also? It sounds pretty cool environment friendly cow shit! great article kayti!
Interesting article. Seems like they should go back to using sain foin instead of giving the cows drugs.
