Harold and Kumar approve.

Manitoba! He’s been proud of White Castle since they band photographed the inner sleeve there for their Epic debut LP back in 1974.

When you move to the country, you should expect things to be (and smell) different. You should not expect the country folk to cater to your wishes at the expense of their livelihood.

In my county, home buyers must sign a disclosure stating that they understand that this is an agricultural county, and certain odors may occasionally be present as a result. My guess is that the disclosure became a requirement when some city slickers tried to sue because they'd never lived in an area with farms before.

I ate at White Castle once. Got a half dozen gut grenades and an order of coffin nails. Never went back.

Reminds me of the favorite, oft-told two-liner inspired by a late night White Castle session:

Q - Why do farts smell?

A - So that deaf people can enjoy them.

(At this point in the conversation my beloved wife feels compelled to recount the story of the time when, while sleeping well after midnight, I emitted a flatulent utterance of such volume that it rattled the glass in the bedroom window, awoke my son sleeping in the basement and caused the dogs to bark in full alarm.)

So that deaf people can enjoy them. LOL!

...I emitted a flatulent utterance of such volume that it rattled the glass...

With her 140 dB snore volume, my ex-wife would cause dogs two blocks away to bark in fear and Animal Rescue to show up because neighbors thought we were torturing hogs at night.

We had separate bedrooms within days of our honeymoon, but her snoring would still wake me throughout the night most every night. Since I booted her out, I sleep like a baby.

I don’t care what you feed ‘em, if you’re downwind of a hogfarm, you better have a gas mask!

Bingo!
It's been a while since I spent time near a pig farm, but my recollection is that the general stench of a typical pig farm is well-nigh unbearable!

Shouldn't the issue be zoning, rather than what pig-feed you use?

Shouldn't the issue be zoning, rather than what pig-feed you use?

I suppose, although I'm philosophically opposed to zoning laws as well. If someone built a hog farm next to your property and the stink lowered your property values, I think you could easily make a civil case however.

On the other hand, if the hog farm was there first, the type of feed being used wouldn't help you case in the slightest, at least with me.
