I can understand the dislike of the pig smell, but there is no justification for this kind of waste right now.
A lot of central Iowa has the stench of pigs, just like some other parts of the country have the stench of cows. I wore a brand new pair of boots into a pig barn for 15 minutes a couple of days after Christmas. To this day, when I wear those boots, I can still smell the hogs on them...even though I didn’t step in anything in the barn.
The smell is that permeating...but not worth $1.8 million dollars.
