one of the places I stopped at was a farmhouse in Cedar County. The people had lived there for many years. About 2 years before that the neighbor put up a CAFO that stunk to high heaven.

The woman and her husband could barely breathe there but based on the laws there wasn't much they could do. One thing she did say was that they couldn't sell their house. Who would buy a house next to a stink like that? She was extremely mad. Her rep at the time was doing nothing for her.
