This reminds me of a letter
published in the local paper of the part of Dorset where I grew up.

This was at the time when people from London started to move in and price local people out of the market.

The letter went something like this:
"Why do the farmers in the farm next door to me allow their cows to foul all over the road when they move them from the field to the dairy? Something really should be done to stop it.
Added to this the dairy farm is beginning to really smell now the weather is getting warmer. I did not move here from London to be surrounded by bad smells."

I think it may have been a joke just to get us upset!

I grew up in the wilds of Zummerzet.
The local chicken farm smelt fucking grim in the summer.

That said, anyone coming from London and complaining about the smell needs a serious irony-detection overhaul.

Oh yes farms can proper hum
It's just that people don't realise that the countryside is, or was, a working place and no just put there for them the enjoy at weekends.
Farms stink of shit, but this doesn't fit with some peoples idea of a rural idyll.
