You have to put up with the occasional smell in the country

I must live within a couple of hundred yards of the first complainant yet I only smell the smell once or twice a week at most, and then only if the wind is in the right direction.

It is not the worst smell in the world. I grew up in farmland and smells come with the territory.

We live on the fringe of the countryside. Enjoy the benefits. Put up with the occasional smell. That's life.

And don't forget that the nasty turf farm helps lower our taxes.
