Running Back or should have been?

I’ve dipped out many a hog manure open pit with a dragline. You learn mighty quick not to splatter it when you dump a bucketful
Nothing was as bad as working near a million chicken egg farm when they filled 5000 gallon truck tankers with liquid chicken Schiff and just opened the valve and drove around the field upwind of me

I don’t know, I can’t remember how that story ends (it is secondhand, became town lore for a while!)

[Chicken Schiff is absolutely the worst smelling farm animal crap there is]
As someone who’s had to put up with neighbors who raised their own chickens *and* driven past hog farms in the Midwest, I can tell you that hog manure is so strong-smelling, you want to breathe through your mouth throughout the range of that odor. But nothing compares to human manure, which is harvested from sewage systems, composted and recycled as fertilizer. Put some of that in the park, and the reek will attract flies while repelling people.

To be fair, a yardful of chickens is nothing like the Schiff from a million of them on one farm when they clean out their manure pit containments

In north Georgia every so often you can be cruising down the road and come across a chicken house being cleaned out and BAM that ammonia will hit you like a nasty wave.

You’re probably right. But the one thing that I’ve noticed is that even a small amount of allegedly composted human manure deposited around flower beds just reeks.

I can’t argue that
a local guy the next county over has gotten insanely rich by providing a service for municipalities here and in Iowa to pump the waste from sewage treatment plants and knife it into farmground using those big wheel trucks
They try to keep the smell down, but sometimes it goes in a bit too much at a time and wafts downwind

Had a friend that took someone’s chicken coop scrapings and spread them on his lawn for fertilizer. 1. Smelled horrible for a week; 2. All kinds of crazy weeds sprouted up soon after. Took him a year to get it back in control.

Second worst. Pig is worse. Liquid pig litter will do the job maybe too much.
Stink in order from least to worst...
Horse
Cow
human
chicken
pig
But it all stinks.

I was raised on a farm! Raised pigs and chickens and cows and horses. Soon learned to distinguish what I smelled by the stench of the odor. Never forgot the smell.
Now I live within a few miles of a human sewage treatment plant, and some farmers spread it on their land. It has a sickening “sweet” smell to it.
Raised around it, shoveled it, hauled it, spread it. I know it so well my name is associated with it!
On the other hand I have no problem with dog or cat poo except when I step in it and it squishes between my toes.

Back in the early 60's I used to spread hundreds of pounds of Milorganite (human waste) in the early mornings on the fairways at a golf club near me.
That started to smell pretty good after a little humidity or rain.
To: NormsRevenge
That would be a shicken chit thing to do!
