Does rice milk or milk from grain-fed cows emit less methane?

RE: Does rice milk or milk from grain-fed cows emit less methane?
Rice is the single largest emitter of methane in conventional ag. Yes, more than cattle as a single source, while less than livestock overall. That's just a tiny sliver of the picture, though. Rice is also water hungry and co2 intensive as well. It's more productive than either corn or wheat - has fewer uses, and a narrow land capacity profile.

Rice milk would have worse numbers than rice - processing. As a product, it's likely to have shit numbers with respect to cows milk in a full comparison because a dairy doesn't have the same numbers as a feedlot to begin with and ultimately makes many more products than just the milk, the environmental cost distributed across them.
