DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- There's a new defense against odors that waft from factory farms. It's the Nasal Rangers -- a group of state employees specially trained to sniff out smells and determine which of them are too stinky.

I'm getting awfully tired of yuppies who move to houses in farming areas and then start complaining about the smell. The farms were there first.

The crux of your point is certainly valid. However, in these cases, the complaint is just as if not more likely to be coming from a farmer who was "there first" (before the stink).

That stink in question emanates not from the typical family farms, but from the newcomer corporate factory farms, which concentrate hogs in small spaces and produce concentrated rivers of sh*t.
