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. Nobody could figure out how to put the fire out so they just left it smolder till it burned out by itself. It's too much of a co-oincidence to think all the respiratory problems I had that winter were unrelated, but try to prove something.
It all comes down to the old "not in my back yard" syndrome. There are, in fact, plenty of locations in the area that meet the distance criteria, but I'll have to admit the location across the road from me would have been an ideal site for a feedlot. Almost the entire quarter section has a diagonal slope across it.
Only I'm across the road from the bottom of the slope.
