Oh wait I have one more story. I moved back here in 94 from AZ, and that's when I got my first job as a vet assist before I went to college and got my license.My boss at the time was part of the Sunnyside city counsel and was always in the know! LOL Here in Sunnyside we have TONS of dairies. We also had at that time, a feed lot, Monsons ranch. Well to make a long story short these farms and ranches have been in this valley a LONG time, and yes it did give Sunnyside the nickname Smellyside. Apparently, there were some folks that did like it, and took issue with it and started making their own "stink" so to speak and got the county and the city to make the farmers get rid of or reduce their smell. But, guess who the majority of people were from that were complaining?? People from CA!!! Now, I can tell you this, Monson eventually moved out, of where they had been for over 30 years cause the city pressured them Van deGraffs was another who had to move. These ranches were here WAY before the city was a city, but because the city started moving closer to them, it was the ranches and dairies fault! REALLY?? And I still maintain that if you move here and you don't like it leave!!! I have about 7 dairies within a 3 mile radius of me. Most days it is not pleasant to smell especially in the winter with no breeze. Am I happy about it? NO! but, I like my piece of land and to me it's the smell of money! This Valley has depended on these Dairies for a long time and my husband wouldn't have the job he has if it weren't for that. There is a ton of economy and money generated by them and the support services. But, it just irritates me that one comes to a place and instead of taking it for what it is, or moving if they don't like it, they run others off, or cause more laws or regulations!!! Ok, anyway, I'm done now!! LOL!! By the way, as you can tell, the smell hasn't changed so, so much for all the misery and grief their complaining and belly aching caused!
opps meant to say "didn't like it" lol
