Well though out plan.
A very easy cost to bear now. @ $10 a cow is such a low cost for farmers, I only have sheep and see our price drop over $10 a pop every day.

With each cow being a $10 liability then each payment will be motivations to reduce cow numbers.
Farming for profit, not output and polluting for free.
