[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14152"] The first time we drove by a feedlot around here, we had our five year old grandson with us. We got downwind of it, and the boy says, "OH, YUCK!" I told him, "That, son, is where we get our food from." He objected to getting meat from the backend of a cow, but I explained that it wasn't the backend I was referring to. That smell just meant that we were in a place where we would be eating good, because I have NEVER been hungry among farmers and ranchers. That smell is gold for this land that is so deficient in nitrogen and nurtrients in the soil. The boy wasn't convinced, but now, two years later, he is shoveling manure like a champ and the smell no longer bothers him. Unfortunately, so few people understand where their food comes from... they think Ellensberg came into existence because Safeway opened up a store, NOT because ranchers and farmers started working the land and a city grew from those roots. They like their perfumes and air fresheners, thinking they are soooo sophisticated and cultivated... little do they know. And, then you have the horsey crowd whose manure draws more flies than cows and slaughter houses ever thought of drawing, but people don't think in terms like that.... silly things....
