Whatever you do, be a good neighbor. Don't plug up the culvert--in the Spring that might cause a wash out that you might have to pay to fix. I would tactfully talk to your neighbor and ask him if he knows what might be causing the unusual smells you have just noticed. He might not know anything about it, and maybe it is not because of his activities. Or maybe it will alert him to a problem he needs to address. In my area, most of the dairies that were operating 30 years ago are gone. Part of the reason they quit was that there got to be more and more restrictions on their operations, and many of those restrictions pertained to runoff into streams. It did not make good business sense to spend the money to make the large changes to prevent the runoff, so at least some of the dairies quit having cows. I bet your dairying neighbor will be very concerned about his operation polluting the stream, if in fact,it is. And I also would bet that he would appreciate your talking to him about the problem, rather than reporting the problem to some authority. That is always an option, but so often the bureaucrats are very high handed, and it might be very tough on your previously good neighbor. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who complained, and he might not be as friendly any more. Good luck!

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
