We were pretty sure a farmers co-op was going to build an alfalfa drying plant near us. Thankfully an elderly widow lady had bought a lot years before and refused to sell it so that got stopped.
So they decided to build that plant in a neighboring small town and right across the street from some friends who had just put up a new house. The smell was atrocious; like a sewer to the 10th power. Thankfully it did not last long.
Apparently they were in violation of some EPA regulations and a more in depth investigation was to follow. Lo and behold, the plant just happened to catch on fire about 1 in the morning and burned to the ground; taking with it any evidence.
I would expect drying alfalfa to smell wonderful. Not like cut grass?
Piganini, our beloved potbellied pig’s Purina Pig Chow was mostly alfalfa.
It smelledelicious. (Did notaste as it smelled.)
His wagging tail showed that he liked it! You never sausage a pig!
I guess if you’re around it all the time, you don’t notice the smell. Similar to how smokers don’t smell the stale cigarette smoke in their clothing. When I first stopped smoking, I was amazed that I could smell someone smoking a cigarette in the car in front of me at a red light with my windows rolled up!
the problem is that smokers dont realize it until they stop. I stopped but my son has not yet. when he walks in the house the whole house smells just from his clothes.
My doctor had the covid19 virus he told me that once he got over it his sense of smell was increased he said he could walk into his house and smell cigarette smoke but no one smoked in his house for the last 35 years.
A home I bought years ago was previously owned by smokers. I ended up cleaning then painting all the walls and ceiling and replacing ALL the carpeting.
I’ve also refused a rental car that you could easily tell was rented by a smoker (even though it wasn’t suppose to be).
I can understand that, though being a smoker I only smoke with the windows down and use some Jovan musk every now and then to freshen the car up. Have had a few people comment on how nice the car smells. Never smoke when a passenger is in the car unless they smoke also
Until I was six y.o. my dad drove a livestock truck for a slaughter house, sometimes he would take me along. Then we would go in and walk through the facility. I am surprised it did not affect me. I am definitely a carnivore.
