If a farm raises animals, there is manure that can cause odors. One dairy cow produces 15 tons of manure, a mature pig 1.8 tons, a beef animal 11 tons, a horse 8.2 tons and a dog 0.4 tons in a year. To recycle the nutrients in the manure, the farmer spreads the manure on fields. Odors in the air should go away in a few days. Farmers need and appreciate their neighbors understanding on these and other farming practices.
Farm equipment can be noisy and cause dust to rise in fields.
Farmers plant crops and later harvest their crops within a small window of time. When the time is right and the weather good, the farmer is up at dawn and works long into the night. The good news is that planting and harvesting do not last for long. To reach some fields, farmers move their equipment on the road. This can be dangerous to motorists and farmers alike.
