Carbon footprint

[jerseycowsman]

Since the Arla thread seems to have disappeared, I’ll put my arla carbon footprint here.
Apparently just .936 kg per litre. one of the lowest the lady had seen and certainly lower than all the Danes, jerseys or Holsteins!

Nobody likes a show off! Still waiting for mine..

Admittedly it's at the better end, but it's still within the range that 90% of farms fall under.

Need to be in the 800's or below for for an elite brag really.

I'm not an Arla supplier, but can I ask if you Arla suppliers use Alltech carbon foot printing model. Just to compare?

It was a lady from prom at who spoke to me, what program is used I have no idea

What’s happened to the original Arla thread anyway?

Perhaps it was started by somebody you now ignore either deliberately or accidentally so you can’t see it.
I have done that quite often accidentally lately.

No-one has posted on it for a month so it's dropped to page 7 in the listings.

Edit: I both search and type too slow it seems?

so you’re suggesting that 90% of us are in the same ballpark anyways?

If it's the same method I helped someone work out their emissions with, I suggest politely that the figures they create are nonsense but that is just me.

That must be without sequestration.

Mine was 831g and 936g/litre when I checked mine last.

Most carbon footprints are a load of greenwash. You can get almost any answer you like by setting boundaries appropriately. For example, do you look at the embedded carbon in your tractor? If so, then the embedded carbon in the tractor factory, then the steelworks?

Not had my results yet and I submitted online in March.

We used to do the Altech one with Arla but the new one has been developed for Arla specifically I believe and the same survey is used for all member countries. It's quite a bit different to the Altech one we used to do. Seems a lot more data to enter for the new system.

There are about 20 different calculators....21 including the Arla one ?

I agree. I suspect the grass grazing lot like Lazy Farmer looked pretty good for carbon on paper, we better not go into investigating his 1000 cubic metres of cow tracks made from concrete though.

Just for laughs. I have no agenda

I'm far from expert for sure.
When carbon became a thing I searched and read a couple of study's.
They both indicated 90ish% of farmers were within 0.2g of each other, with 5% above and 5% below.

I'm just parroting what I've read.

I remember one report used the amount of carbon burnt by all the emails floating around.
