Letter: Pig farm was there before newcomers

Monday, Sept. 23, 2002 | 8:50 a.m.

It always amazes me how so-called educated people, who can buy a house, will move in next to an airport runway or next to a highway and then complain about the noise.

Now we have more of those educated people who moved in next to a pig farm, and guess what -- they complain it stinks.

Well, guess what? It has been doing this for 40 years or so and will do so forever.

Farmer Robert Combs has been at his property for that long, and if you newcomers are not smart enough to figure that out, a farm of any kind always has a smell.

Leave Mr. Combs alone -- let him do what he has done for the last 40 years, and you newcomers, find a place somewhere else where it does not "stink."
