The key is on which farms is this applied. If it's on big companies I find it ok: they have the power to emit a lot of gas, I guess. But on the small/family farm?

A grand-uncle(?) of mine had to kill one or two of his 5 cows when the country entered the European Union. Just about retiring age. I totally relate to your comment.

It applies to all farms, but the proceeds are distributed as adjustment subsidies. Small farms will receive a disproportionate share of the subsidies, so they will likely be net beneficiaries.
