Well, not really. We just think infrastructure means road and bridge update/repair. Infrastructure is a word used to confuse the taxpayers. Now it means to promote the New Green Deal, which is new wording for climate change.

Otherwise, what does the current federal/lib plan have in store for ag?

Just a small part of the article:

"So far, the Biden administration is leaning heavily toward awarding financial bonuses for farmers, ranchers and foresters who retool their operations to suck carbon from the atmosphere. The White House blueprint specifically calls for "incentives" to reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions through new farm practices and technologies.

"We are making an aggressive reduction target for the country," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on Thursday during a briefing with reporters. "Part of our effort will focus on enhancing climate-smart agricultural practices, the development of biofuels, carbon capture and sequestration, better forest management and reforestation."

"An especially thorny topic that could draw huge resistance from farmers and ranchers is what to do about methane emissions from cows and other livestock. The industry and many farm-state lawmakers have slammed efforts by politicians to promote "Meatless Mondays" or other programs aimed at reducing meat consumption for environmental reasons."

Hell YES it's going to draw resistance!
 
If cattle produce too much methane emissions so the goal is less cattle, wouldn't that eventually mean more folks would be vegetarians?

So the increase in carbohydrate consumption will increase gas also. How will this balance out?

 
And as usual with the media, the headline is not accurate. I don't see how 10% is a "big" contributor. And livestock is less than a 1/3 of that.
