The last thing we need here is more controvery or bad news, but I ran across this today and thought I would post the links. I know this subject has been debated here before, but there may be some new information, both pro and con in these articles.
The Examiner devoted a lot of space in their paper today on this subject
There are a lot of people in this area that live near farm fields that are fertilized using sludge. Having read these articles today, I just thought I would share them as an FYI:

When I woke up this morning I had my cup of coffee and checked out the postings, but this morning was different. My eyes were watering so bad from our neighbor (HOG FARMER-SLUDGE SPREADER) smell that I could hardly see them. I have lived here for over twenty years and never had any problem with the smells of my neighbor farmers spreading manure but what ever is being stored and how it’s stored at the HOG FARM is MUCH different. I have been told that it’s being monitored??????? It’s all GOOD??????? Sure hope that I can open my windows this spring and enjoy some FRESH AIR before the heat of summer is upon us.

We have been dealing with it for the last 2 weeks or so. My kids won’t go outside. My pets won’t stay outside! Our family is somewhat nauseated from it. Can’t open windows or hang sheets outside.
Love my house & my neighborhood. Too bad we can’t be outside to enjoy the spring flowers.

Just hoping the wind will change direction!
