Oooo Oooo that smell!

[leversole]

It's that time of year again! ALL of the farmers are spraying that magic elixer known as "natural fertilizer" on all of the fields around here...the entire atmosphere is saturated...

[Maddog13407]

yup same here also, and not the smell Ronnie Vanzant was singing about either! whole valley smells

[2stacksuperdog]

We dont get that till the spring before they plant. Makes some stink. Better then gear oil.....

There are lots worse smells in the world than a little manure,I'd rather smell that than the chemicals and anhydrous they use.

I was raised in a town in Jersey called Kearny, the home of about 5 landfills, on your hot summer nights you could smell all of that garbage rottin away an when the landfill caught fire... Well that was a real treat!! Cooked rottin garbage plus the ambers flyin around !! And when the chemical pitt's went up... We got in the car and went south!!

BULLHUSK

That is the stuff they are spraying here! sheep and cow slurry some of it is! I would love some straight up manure at this point!

[Maddog13407]

yup, nothing like a good ride in the country and smelling some good manure, the slury shit, not so much....

[220cummins]

Ahh yes all the chemicals, Shit, and Piss that go into the food we eat!

We get the annual pleasure of chicken sh#t getting scattered around here every spring. I like the way a cow truck smells when it blows by, but chicken is a whole other story.

[j hancock]

It is all pretty bad but chicken is at the top of the list!

[mike69mackman]

Lived in the country all my life, couldn't imagine living in town. The liquid shit can get a little rank at times but I wouldn't trade it for auto exhaust and the noise .

[ap40rocktruck]

Try south eastern Minnesota on I-90 Austin, mid summer, hot day smell wafting from the Armour / SPAM packing plant...........Gag a maggot kind of wretch. Honestly it was WORSE in the winter cause the smell was year round & in January with the heat on....well you get the idea.

Do NOT miss that at all

[mike69mackman]

Yeah don't blame you there.

[j hancock]

SPAM..... a product that has a shelf life of about a billion years.

Maybe two billion?

None of it bothers me. Im in farm country. Buncha CH's Hauling shit, and CH's hauling hay, and a couple all wheels drive DMM's hauling hay.

You guys should venture through "Mushroom Country" (Avondale/Kennett Square PA) I don't think I've ever smelled anything worse than the "secret formula" mix of manure they use for mushroom compost! it will un-plug your sinuses for sure!..................(and this coming from someone born and raised in Jersey,the home of bad smells! LOL!)........................................Mark

Yup, one of the worst smelling clouds of stench to drive thru. Just about puke in your hat.

For a different kind of year round stink, back in 1982 I lived in New Zealand & although the country is beautiful, the city of Rotorua was built around the sulfur flats. From about 5 mile out the horrible scent of rotten eggs begins to permeate the cab. By the time you make it into the city all you can smell is massive amounts of sulfur gas. As i found several times, the worst was after you leave & get some place better, THEN you find that your clothes, hair, self, truck, everything has absorbed the smell...........

[hatcity]

Bah!!

Ain't nuthin smells worse than Newark

Liquid $hit can get intense but to a farmer it is the smell of money. Most farmers in my area spread it in the spring before planting and in the fall after the crops are harvested. The BTO farmers use big honey wagons pulled by either a farm tractor or semi-tractor with big wide lugged tires that you can hear a mile away. When I rented the farm one of the stipulations is NO LIQUID $hit.

There is a paper mill in Roaring Spring (less than 2 miles from the farm). Years ago before air quality regulations, it smelled like $hit and there was a yellow scum on the side of the houses. Now there is not much odor.

Nothing smells better than freshly mowed alfalfa or clover.

I guess that's why you used to smell the paper mill in Covington driving along on 64, and the mill was at the far end of town, but you can't smell it any more.
