“And it doesn’t smell very good.”
Um, no shit.
According to UPI, Elizabeth Matthews of KSDK in St. Louis recently reported on an Illinois farmer using sewage sludge, which is basically human fecal matter, to fertilize his crops. And when it came time to show her viewers what the fertilizer looks like, well, Matthews dug right in.
Hey, anything for “Sweeps Week,” I guess.
Shane Reinneck owns the farm and admits that the “fertilizer” smells awful, but he insists that he is doing nothing wrong. He argues that the organic materials found in it are crucial to his crops.
No word on the last time Reinneck got laid, but he says he’s going to continue using the sewage sludge as long as people are eating and doing their deed.
That’s bad news for Buck Horine, who can’t open his windows for three or four days straight at times even though he lives about a mile-and-a-half away. He says he just hopes “the wind is blowing that way or that way and not this way.”
