“You always have the smell from these things, that’s always going to be there.”

Indiana state Sen. Rick Niemeyer. He’s sponsored a bill to require farms that confine animals for feeding to have an additional inspection every five years. Farm groups complained that this would raise costs for them, but Niemeyer said their neighbors have concerns about pollution and smell. He said he recognizes that odors are part of livestock farming, but the “magnitude of manure” can be “tremendous.” (Indiana Capital Chronicle)
