Concord New Hampshire A Main Street Community
There was a fun story on the front page of todays Concord Monitor. A story pointing out one of the most charming aspects of Concord, NH, the fact that Concord has not totally rid itself of its agricultural roots!
It's the smell of Mother Nature's fertilizer....it's the smell of "Poop".
From one side of Concord to the other even to the streets downtown, the smell of manure permeates the air.
To quote City Planner Doug Woodward "It reminds us that there's still agriculture in Concord...New Hampshire has not been completely paved over"
There are still two major Dairy Farms in the Concord area, The Bartlett Farm and the Morrill Farm Dairy. They own a good portion of the land surrounding the city, and at this time every year they fertilize the fields. And every year the city hears complaints from people who have forgotten where their food comes from!
So, if you happen to be new to the Concord area...or are just passing through!
Not to worry...It's NOT the Sewage Treatment Plant 
It's Spring!!

Its reminds me of when I live in Moorhead MN and the sugar beets were in production for 2 weeks you had to hold your breath put everyone in town knew someone that was still working one of those sugar beat fields.
Reminds me of when I visit my Grannie. The area she lives in has large chicken and hog farms. The aroma can be strong at times.
Carol...one of my listings is across the street from beautiful pastoral fields(corn fields) and I've had a few younger lookers turn up their noses(no pun intended) because it's a farm...go figure!
Glad you have pleasant memories!

Nothing like a little "mucking around in the manure" to get the old spring-juices flowing...Ho-Ho..
very fun post..could you add it to the NEWS at the top of the ECO-All-Stars Group?...always good to read your posts..I seem always to smile when I do..
Good reminder, Joan!
I was visiting with a client who I sold a house to last year a few days ago and we spent part of the time watching the farmers fertilize the field across the way....they don't mind the smell at all as they realize it is just temporary and beats the smog and sirens of the city (they moved here from downtown Toronto) anyday!!
