He Solved His Smell Problem With Perfume

He Solved His Smell Problem With Perfume SPECIALTY/SERVICES Specialty/Services 6-3-32 When John Bennett went to town and smelled the silage on his dairy farm two miles away, he decided it was time to correct his "smell problem" before his non-farming neighbors came out and did it for him. Bennett, who runs 200 Holstein and Friesian cattle on his 300 acre farm near Worcester, England, installed 18 nozzles around his 2,500 ton capacity bunk silo.

Bennett hasn't had a single complaint since he installed the sweet-smelling system, according to a report in Farmer's Weekly magazine. "It is completely automatic and works day or night," says Bennett, explaining that the release of perfumes is triggered by a weather vane which automatically starts the perfume pump whenever the wind blows toward town.
