This is in eastern Nebraska, and there is a huge feedlot two miles south of me on the other side of I-80. It's "grandfathered in", and has impacted development on the Interchange.
When the wind is in the south after a rain, let's just say it's aromatic around here. Several years ago, a large manure/compost pile on the premises got on fire and smoldered for at least two months.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
