Odor control for farmers

Hi snowcat: Although I can't remember this happening to me or anyone I personally know, I can understand the frustration of the farm owner to have a new neighbor move in and distrupt the peace of the community with their complaints. It is unfortunate if your community puts up with their behavior. I trust the community is secure in itself to put this person in thier place. So, what would possess someone to move into such a community knowing the hog farm was there? Did they not smell it when they went house hunting? Did the realtors not advise them? If they knew what they were getting into before they purchased, they have no room to complain. I hope that the community can weather the storm caused by such discuptions. Good luck.

I bet they sit at their table of the morning talking about how disgusting those "pig farmers" are while they enjoy their bacon and eggs huh? Sounds to me like they knew what the were getting into before they got there or at least should have known I hate it when people do that whatever the complaint is. I know when me and my husband bought our first house we spent two months talking to neighbors and frequenting the neighborhood and even made arrangments with the realtor to spend a couple of nights in the house BEFORE we purchased it. Which by the way we didn't purchase because we were not comfortable with raising our son there. There were nothing but teens (he was only a few months old) in the neighborhood and noone had small children. We would have never known this if we hadn't investigated it first. It amazes me how people think they make their decisions and everyone else should accomodate them. GRRRRR I vote for the newbies moving!

Hey if they moved in there knowing the pig farm was there they have no right to complain. The pig farm was there first, and if they have a problem with the pig farm they can move not the pigs. I mean my god could they not smell it when they went to view the house??? Did they think the smell would magically disappear when they moved in??

I have the same problem with one of my neighbors. They chose to move into a neighborhood of houses, yet they complain about dogs and cats. They hate animals. Why didn't they move to an area that bans pets if they have a problem with them? They chose to move to the suburbs were everyone has pets. I chose to move to an area that I can have dogs in my yard. They are also inside, but on nice days they like to hang out in the yard. They complain my dogs bark at them. Maybe I should complain their human brats make noise. Their baby cries at night and wakes me up.

HI Snowcat: For myself personally since I grew up in the country, I'd much rather smell the pig_sh!t any old day as to smell what I do now having to live here in town; just a few blocks from me is the Soy Bean Mill and its a REAL STINKER!!! and when it rains OH MY GOD does it stink! Thankfully most of the time the wind blows from the south and that blows it away from me, but those days that the winds come from the NORTH, STINKY, STINKY STINKY SOY BEAN MILL...BLEH!! HURL HURL!!!! I have no sympathy for the idiot that moves to the country out by the pig farmer knowing full well that there is bound to be an odor..DUH!!! people like them really make me crazy!! If not for the few pig farmers left in the world where do they think their pork comes from?? The pink piggy flying up in the sky?? Raining bacon and sausage down on them? GGRR!!! Give me the pig farmer any old day, or any place out in the country boy do I miss it! My ailing Father still has his farm but we've not had livestock on it for many many years, and sooooo many townsfolk and city people have moved out there, You'd never know it was the country if not for his fields to the north of his house there are just so many dang people out there anymore; The one neighbor out there has horses and on the other side of their fence is a pasture full of the biggest darndest fanciest homes you've ever seen; and most of them are for sale now..LOL! stupid people!

your post reminds me of an email I recieved that also sums up how I feel. It was talking about the smell of cattle and oil rigs and stated that to some it stinks but to the people that live there it is money and if you do not like it then leave. When you buy a property you have to pay attention to these things and if you buy despite what you see, hear, or smell then I think that you should get over it. Only when a business moves to where you live should you be able to complain.

definitely the new comers... it is their faults if they didn't do a thorough investigation before buying the house... i bought a house more than a year ago and i make sure that i do my homework and survey the neighbouring area first before i make the big decision... the pig farm is there first and make no fault... they should have smell the odour when they did the inspection before buying the house... take care and have a nice day...

I think those people made their bed, now they need to lie in it. They moved there KNOWN the pig farm was there - tough!

i don't know why anybody would move next to a place like that to start with. they should move not the farmer.

well i dont think the farm should have to move. i also think the real estate people should have to report to people things that may be a problem depending on what people can actually handle.

this has got me into thinking on who is to blamed. cause if that is a city i think that the family that raises animals should have to move. but if in case they are living in some place fit for that kind of living then i think that they should not be forced to move. and the new neighbor should learn how to live with that of environment or they should look for a new place to locate or live. i think that they should expect that if they will live in that kind of area. it is not that they are unaware of it before they moved in. i think that they have surveyed the area or place they are now before they moved in. and they don't expect the neighbors to adjust to what they demand or want.

wow...Did they not make observation before they buy the house? it looks funny just like someone wants to make trouble.
