Reply to "Odor in Central/Oakland area"

Farmers are darned if they do and darned if they don't! Yes, it is chicken liter being spread at the bend of the river. Several farmers are using it to fertilize the land as many of them have in many parts of the world for many years. It is very rich in nutrients needed to grow things. After having to have it hauled in and spread, it's not really any cheaper. However, it is their part in "going green"! Farmers take a lot of criticism when they use chemicals and now they're having to take it for an odor (that will pass rather quickly). The odor was stronger last week because they were actually spreading the liter. I am not aware of any being spread this week, but like I said, there are several farmers using it.
