I wouldn't want to live next to a large chicken operation at any price. The possibility of going to work, or over to a friends house and having them say something like, OMG you smell like death turd is just too much, even if I personally didn't smell it.

Regarding that, I think that as long as the regulations are disclosed before you take ownership of the property, it shouldn't be an issue. If they aren't then I'd be suing the realtor for not performing due diligence on the sale. Just as I will never move into a property that is in an HOA, I would also never move into a property next to a large commercial operation like this one. For this reason, as well as the smell. The thought of having restrictions on my property is one that I'm not really cool with, but If I move in knowing what they are, (the price per acre is reflecting that as well) I can't really complain when I have to live by them I guess. Slight tangent, but what bothers me even more is when someone moves in next door to a local airport, and then complains about the noise, eventually leading to shutting down the airport. It's like come on, you knew it was there before you moved in... and the airport has grandfathered in rights.. likewise, If I had 50K chickens under my care and someone moved in next door with 10 chickens of unknown health, and my flock died, potentially destroying my business, my lawyer would be on the phone in about .00000002 seconds. Not a fan of lawyers, but that's what they are there for.
