Need some advice.
My neighbor's grain bin is about 300 yards away from me. He has a "weekend farm" of about 40 acres, and he's got a small (4500 bushel) grain bin, that he puts his corn in.
The bin has one of the older "axial" fans, and it's pointed in my direction. And the noise is driving me crazy.
It's a combination of a grinding sound and a high pitched howl. Like being on the back end of a jet plane engine. The noise penetrates even into my house at night, and I can't get any sleep. And it's pointed right at me. It's really bad, believe me.
Plus, he runs it 24 hours, day after day. I'm wondering exactly how wet his corn is?
I'm thinking of writing a letter, where I suggest that he put one of his big round hay bales in front of it, to at least dampen the sound. Or that he runs it only in the daytime.
Do any others have any suggestions on how to best handle this situation, in a civil manner? Thanks for any advice.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
