ER Editor: UK farmers are protesting, at minimum, the proposed inheritance tax that would threaten their ability to stay in business, and a 90 day trial to add an additive to cow feed that would allegedly cut methane production, called Bovaer. You know, cow farts. See —

Burping cows, Bovaer and boycotts: The anti-methane additive that’s taking social media by storm
If it sounds too stupid or dangerous to be true, it probably is —
UK shoppers have threatened to boycott Tesco, Aldi and Morrisons over a ‘miracle’ methane-busting additive trial.
The controversy began last week after several British supermarkets teamed up with the Danish-Swedish company Arla Foods to announce a 90-day trial of Bovaer, a new feed additive that aims to cut methane emissions from cows.
Retailers Tesco, Aldi, and Morrisons joined forces with Arla Foods to trial the additive that hopes to tackle methane produced by cows during digestion on 30 British farms.
Arla Foods owns the UK’s largest dairy cooperative and features Cravendale milk and Lurpak among its popular dairy items.
Both the UK and EU food safety authorities approved Bovaer prior to the trial, stating that it is safe for use and does not affect the quality of milk. It has also been authorised in several other countries, including Australia, Brazil and Canada.
However, environmental groups and consumers have raised concerns over the additive’s long-term effectiveness and impacts on animal and human health.
