The Sweet Smell of...Shit!
Forums:
The yearly ritual is underway. The farmer is spraying shit sludge on the corn field behind my house. It's fucking brutal, like living in a septic tank.
We closed all the windows, which helps, but missed one. The one in our fucking bedroom. It is beyond ripe in there.

It's liquid manure, probably from cows. It smells like a friggin port-o-potty that hasn't been cleaned in a year.

The 'Sludge' sprayed upon
The 'Sludge' sprayed upon fields is most likely human poop-water from municipal wastewater treatment plants.
They've been getting away with that shit for ages, and it is a highly questionable practice.
Farmers who participate in these unethical and disgusting 'techniques' deserve to be fed to their local Hogs.

The 'Sludge' sprayed upon
I don't think so. It's my understanding that sprayed manure is only cost effective at large swine or cattle farms. Places that produce an almost endless supply of shit.

I'm guessing it's cow shit.
I'm guessing it's cow shit. It's feed corn for his herd, so I'm sure he has a ton of shit laying around.
The bigger issue is the runoff. The field is on the Winooski. The manure runs off and dumps a ton of phosphorous into the river, which then flows to Lake Champlain. There, the phosphorous from all the farms creates algae blooms and basically poisons the lake.
I have to wonder how many particulates of that shit fly through the air and land directly on the river. It then poured last night, before the shit could get tilled in. That would cause direct runoff.
This is only one field out of hundreds. Nasty!

Nice country odors.
Nice country odors.
I grew up in Philly about 3 miles from a DuPont plant.
All summer there would be periodic releases that would engulf the area in a stank that you couldn't keep out.
The slaughter house was just 2 miles up the road, trucks full of hogs would roll by with a distinctive aroma.
So we did get a little of that rural action.

Although I live on a Farm in a rural area of Jerseyland for the last 1/2-Century, other urban Folk may have somewhat valid speculations.
So, a couple articles regarding Municipal sludge:

I used to work on a horse ranch in the middle of nowhere Northern Minnesota. There was a gigantic Dairy farm a couple miles south of us. Usually wasn't a problem but there would be a few days every summer when the winds would swap and blow from the south and the smell was just terrible. So strong you could basically taste it.

I had a client who lived on a
I had a client who lived on a parcel of land in rural Clackamas County and his neighbor ran a septic business, pumping out septic tanks and porto johns. The neighbor decided it was cheaper to spread the waste material on his property next to my client's, ostensibly to fertilize grass for a handful of cows and horses there, than to haul the shit out to eastern Oregon where he had been dumping it before.
My client wasn't happy with the situation and a pissing match ensued. One day, my client was standing near the property line photographing the neighbor spreading the waste using a pumper truck. The neighbor then pulled up right near my client, stopped, and opened up the sprayer, hitting my client. Needless to say, the case soon settled on very favorable terms for my client.

Call your local supervisor
Call your local supervisor and complain about the smell, if it really smells that bad i'd suspect Stu may be right. With Trump in control any regulation is up for grabs and farmers know it.

Brian, I live near a couple of dairies and the smell can be pretty bad sometimes. The worst is when they release excess milk (subsidy requirement) into the feed corn fields when it's 100 + degrees. Imagine sour milk everywhere.
Fortunately, the odors are cyclical and don't last more than a day or two at a time. I wouldn't trade them for the peace and quiet I enjoy here.

Driving from Wichita, KS to
Driving from Wichita, KS to Denver on the interstate, you go through an area filled with Cattle approaching the CO border. I think they call it a 'Feed Lot' but it's a Zillion Beef Cows crammed together so they can't move, in order to fatten them up. Next stop, slaughterhouse.
Anyway, you can smell the Cow - Stank for miles away.
Smells much different from the Municipal sludge.

The real beauty is that it no longer smells outside, but it's 50 degrees and raining, so the windows have to be closed. The stank lingers on the inside!

It was common over the last few thousand years for farm animal owners to live directly above their animals, in the same building. Talk about stank!

I don't think they kept as many animals as a large scale dairy farm though.

Speaking of shit, this seems like a putrid way to go.
Rescuers fear the worst after a man fell into a cesspool in Long Island Wednesday, officials said.
First responders rushed to the home in Huntington at about 1 p.m. after he fell into a gaping hole caused by a cesspool collapse.
Witnesses said a gigantic cesspool opened up in the front yard of the home, swallowing up the victim.
