Any mention of cow farms as significant emitters via this technology?

There's really no comparison. These leaks are pumping thousands of tons of methane directly into the atmosphere every day, and there are a lot of them around the world. No matter how many cow farts you count, it's a drop in the bucket compared to shit like this.

Agriculture releases around 150 million tons of methane a year into the environment, or half a million tons a day.
Of this, a hundred million tons comes from cow farms. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2020.0451

This is just factually wrong.

Cows tend to be more spread out than waste disposal units or oilfields.
Cows and Rice paddies are big emitters because we have so many of them.
