Not sure of the farm you visited, but alot of farms don't smell so mich any more becuase farmers are collecting the manure and digesting it for biogas (methane) production, which produces fuel similar to Shellane or other 'stove gas' LPG and can run diesel engines directly, say for pumping water, or generator sets to power the farm. The Phils government is doing a good job on getting the word out on this, I was pleasantly surprised how many exhibitors had already 'taken the hint'.

Mita and I both had ahec k of a laugh at our official badges ... I should have scanned one in ... they say we are "delegates". I'm not big on political things, but aren't 'delegates" to conventions usually voting memebers of the organizing party? Sad to say, we didn't get to see the "Boss Hog" himself, or even Daisy Duke in her cutoff jeans. Sayang. At least it was free LoL. ha ha, I know, Bob.

I think I might feel offended if they even let me in at a "hog convention." I mean, were the hogs having a convention, or the people who raise the hogs? Ha ha... couldn't help it!
