    EPA report just out stating agriculture emissons up a fraction to a total of 30.4%.



    Emissions from [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Agriculture [/FONT][/FONT]increased by 0.2% (0.04 Mt CO2eq) in 2010. This is the first increase in this sector since 2003. The increase in emissions reflects primarily a large increase in nitrogenous fertiliser sales as well as an increase in gasoil use on farms. Declining trends in total cattle numbers and sheep continue in 2010 while swine numbers have increased relative to 2009 levels.
