In my neighborhood we have any flavor you want. Turkey manure, chicken, hog and cattle. The turkey stuff is piled in the open and composted for awhile. You can smell it for miles when it's spread but the smell doesn't last long. The chicken manure comes out of a compost shed at a 6.5 million bird layer facility and is piled in the field and then spread soon after. It's mighty ripe but doesn't seem to last long. The farmer is required to work it in right away. Hog manure is knifed in and isn't too bad depending on how well it's covered. My neighbor to the north piled cattle manure last summer and then had it spread just across the fence north of me, a whole quarter section of it. The wind just happened to be coming from the northeast for the first time in weeks so we caught the full aroma. I darned near went to a motel for a couple of nights and it took awhile for the smell to leave our buildings. I'm not complaining because we are deep into ag country and this is part of country life.
These manure smells aren't constant by any means but our noses can tell when it's 'in season'. Jim
