Nelson says Graham's appointment is much needed and appreciated. By working with the affected producers and landowners in the area, it gives them an immediate and nearby information resource.

The unmistakable smell of livestock odor will wrinkle the noses of even the most hardened country folk. So it's no surprise that as suburbia encroaches on farmland, people who haven't previously smelled a farm are turning up their noses at livestock waste and other associated odors. That's one reason Agricultural Research Service scientists are looking for solutions to the problem. Currently, there's no standard measure for nuisance livestock odors, nor are there scientific tools to determine when odors reach eye-watering levels. The results of the research may lead to improved farm management techniques to keep a smelly problem in check.
