As a rural home owner I believe this is a mistake. I moved to the country to get away from city noise. I never thought of the rural discomforts. Now I am constantly getting the smell of the country. Manure odor travels for kilometers. Every spring summer and fall is a 'crap' shoot. Farming is not a few animals on a farm. There are large livestock operations. I never thought about the smell of liquid manure making me gag. No urban people can imagine this. We know that we have to put up with the livestock in the area but will prevent more barns from being built in my back yard. The farmers were here first, that I agree. But now I will be here first when they try to enlarge there operations.
