    I doubt that, pre-industrial farming there were wayyy less people. And on its own, methane wouldn’t be anywhere near enough to make a dent, so I don’t see there being a big impact on the climate via greenhouse gases before we started burning fossil fuels (it doesn’t really add up, either, since methane dissolves after a while in the atmosphere).
