As my Grandpa always said...that's the smell of $$$
Actually growing up working on my aunt and uncles farm I now miss those smells living in a more urban area.
Although they had a dairy farm at the time. Now they have a lot more beef cattle and the smell is not at all the same.

I smell human manure walking the streets of (insert large US city) more often than pig manure while driving across the countryside of Iowa, whenever I return for a visit.
I’d rather smell the pig manure by a long shot, but it’s not pleasant and not something I could get used to.

That's par for the course when you live in a small town by businesses relying on shit literally being spread around. Thankfully, in Des Moines we do not have to deal with that.
It’s not “constant.” In the winter you don’t smell it at all…
My money don’t smell like that…
I take it you’ve never visited a large city? Between the sewer gasses and bum dumps, there is really no comparison.
Have you visited a large city? I have. A lot. I am not saying they don't have a smell here or there, but nothing like getting punched in the nose by manure for miles.
Me too. Growing up Dad raised cattle so the smell always reminds me of home and being a kid.
My wife (no pic), a KC girl, always complains about it whenever we go back to NW Iowa. I always laugh and tell her "babe, that's the smell of money!" She immediately responds and says, "nope, that's the smell of shit!".
I love it.
Wrong Trump gif. You’ve never been to the panhandle of Texas I take it. 10 x worse than pigs….
Totally random question, but did anything more ever come out about those guys who died at the Chiefs watch party? I know there was fentanyl involved but wasn't sure if the survivor had anything happen to him legally...
Of course. I spend 200+ days/yr in some of the largest US cities and even some in Canada.
When I fly into Des Moines and drive the 2 hours to my folks place in NE Iowa I might have a 50% chance of smelling pig shit and a 20% chance of smelling strong pig shit in any given two-way trip.
If I take a walk for 10 blocks (maybe 10-15 mins?) downtown in any given large city I probably have similar odds smelling human shit at some point. Sometimes it’s a load a bum has dropped on the sidewalk, other times it’s sewer gasses. Some areas of some cities are worse than others, just as some routes through Iowa are worse than others.
While pig shit is unpleasant, human shit is vomit inducing and much worse, in my opinion.
Reminds me of my mom (RIP). She grew up on a farm, rural north central Iowa, almost all her siblings farmed, etc.
Every damn time we'd go on a car trip with her, there'd always be a point in the trip when certain farm smells would permeate into the car.
My mom would then inform us kids what form of farm animal that manure smell would be.

Have not heard a thing recently. A gal (no pic) in my department knows the guy that lived, used to party with him. I'll ask her if she has heard anything.
Oh. Well, ya, that's out where the hoot owls screw the chickens. And you can smell Sewer City from a good distance.
Higher humidity in the AM really brings it out.
They spread last week across from us. Ewww.
