Owner Ordered to Pay Damages for Hogs’ Stink
From Times Wire Reports
The owner of farms housing thousands of hogs must pay damages to 11 neighbors who said the stench forced them indoors, the state Court of Appeals said in Lincoln.
A trial court will determine the amount owed to the residents, who live within 2 miles of farms owned by Progressive Swine Technologies.
One neighbor said the smell was so overpowering that it affected the taste of the food in her garden. Others compared it to sewage.
