For many people, the answer would be stink, manure, or gross. I guess it is the eternal optimist in me that I would answer fantastic . To me the greatest smell I have ever encountered is newly mowed hay.
Nothing compares to it including roses, lilacs or perfume at one hundred dollars an ounce.
I almost died on June 5th. It was a hot day and we put up 1000 bales of hay in my barn. At 50 years of age, it is a lot harder than when I was 20. I grew up in Brown County where the only jobs for high schoolers was baling hay or working in tobacco. My first job was stacking hay on ten foot of manure in a barn on horse-shoe bend for 75 cents an hour.
