What are the main GHGs relevant to agriculture?
There are three main GHGs:
carbon dioxide (CO2);
methane (CH4)
nitrous oxide (N2O).
While CO2 is released mostly from burning fossil fuels, for agriculture, the main GHGs are methane (65%) and nitrous oxide (30%).
In Ireland, agriculture currently contributes 37% of the total GHGs emitted. GHG emissions on Irish farms come primarily from:
methane belched by cattle and sheep
fertiliser use
animal excrement

On the edge of the burren here, PH of 7.4 on most of my land. Never spread a bag of it. Thankfully I’m still able to get the grant for it.

The height of stupidity. I’d always have the handle of a sledge going in between a cow and a new born calf and give her plenty of it if she looks at you.
