LOL.... that is really great! #14 reminds me of the town my folks live in. It is a FARM community and there is a HUGE beef packing plant there. So of course there are a lot of feedlots and dairy farms. Wellll, there seem to be a lot of "city" folks moving to this rural town to get away from the city. They moved in next door to the cows, sheep, and pigs and now they (city folks) don't like the smell. Well the locals call that smell the smell of money. :) Now the "city" folks have a federal grant to figure out WHERE that smell is coming from and WHAT to do about it. SHESH!!!! I agree it isn't the most plesant smell, but it is what keeps beef on our tables and it keeps the farmers in business. And after all the cows, sheep, and pigs were there first. lol

This is just the situation here. Folks find the cost of living too high in SF, so they pour over the mountains and come here. Cement over "prime ag land", build houses and then they want it to smell like the ocean. Well, it won't, but in the meantime, they are putting a lot of farmers out and the land can never return to agriculture.

Paul Harvey once described American Farmers as the only group in this American society that buys at retail and sells at wholesale.

Just imagine the price of a new car if GM operated that way.
