    Has anyone else noticed that several areas of Nebraska on I-80 smell like Urine. I thought it was our truck, but we only really smell it in Nebraska LOL.

    I've noticed that with Chicago for a few decades now.

    Drive across Northwest Iowa sometime, it's the worst smelling area that I know of. You are probably smelling livestock ammonia and that would explain the 'urine' smell.

    I just can't get past the smell threads. Some of the chicken farms I visit are definitely not for the squeamish. The stench in the winter gets your notice, in the summer I try to park upwind, which is not always possible. As far as living around it, I used to milk a herd of cows, you do get used to it, sort-of, but livestock odor is spending lots of time in courtrooms as a defendant in lawsuits. I find it a poetic justice that the courts would have to regard the odor of manure as part of their business of gumming up the works of this country:biggrin_2559:.

    :biggrin_25523::biggrin_2559::biggrin_25523: There are tons of huge feedlots along I80 in Nebraska. I remember when I was a kid, I'd plug my nose as we were rolling along the interstate and have some comment, and my dad would say "Thats the smell of Money!" :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25525:

    What is the current forum record for resurrecting an old thread?
    I'm betting the urine smell is not as old.
