So fast food workers want 15$ an hour?

WMC built a lot of machinery for Farmer John and had to go there to install. He saw the kill in action. My friend works in Vernon and says you can smell the blood/kill in the air. YUCK

Thats not the only thing that smells in Vernon. My company is doing work at Exide batteries and I was there today for a few hours. The worst place I worked was / is a place in Chino that I seen the cows going in one door and being slaughtered out the other door. I think it was called Westmoreland.

I have worked at dairy farms, slaughtering houses, and virtually every refinery in So Cal which has its share of some bad smells including hydrogen sulfide, but hands down the very worse was the card board recycling plant in Fontana. I dreaded every time I ever had to go to that place. You would think it would be bad, but it is horrible.
The sulfuric acid/rotten egg smell at the Exide facility is bad, but it doesn't compare to the card board recycler in Fontana.

But for a well rounded array of foul oders, Vernon has them beat, and its much better now than it was 20-25 years ago.

Yeah but have you ever worked at an egg ranch like Hickmans in Tonopah Az? In the summer?

There are a lot of feed lots up this way. Foster Farms is all over the place, Zacky farms, you name them, they are around somewhere. To me, Chicken farms have this foul(pun intended) funky smell, not as bad as other stuff, just nasty if you have never smelled it. Dairy's are aweful because of the sewage ponds they maintain from those four legged bastards, but I still think rendering plants kill them all....they should rendering plants on the moon. LOL...

The rendering plant in at Bandini is bad. There is a lot of things that come out of the place besides fertilizer, like lard, and products mixed in with petroleum to make greases and heavy gear oils. Fertilizer is the VERY end product. Like I said about the Kal Kan plant, nothing leaves. Nothing about any animal goes unused.
I think different smells effect people differently. Nothing in Vernon or Bandini could be called pleasant. But to me the cardboard recycler still takes the prize. Seems hard to believe, but it is bad.

I haven't been passed the Farmer John plant in years. Do they still have a cute farm mural painted on the outside of the building. Its makes the place seem so pleasant and down on the farm.

When I was a kid we used to go to a very large egg farm on the Mississippi river bottoms and pick up a very large case of eggs for the extended family... THe flies are like a cloud and the smell in the summer was beyond description...

At the Southern Missouri TYSON processing plants they use every bit of the chickens/turkeys... After all of the meat products are stripped off of the birds EVERYTHING else goes into a THERMAL / PRESSURE conversion set up that literally converts everything into a fuel oil type of substance... Feathers/bones/skin/scraps/feet... ALL turns into a fuel that they use to run the plans...

The same thing is done across Illinois with hog waste...

It is pretty much an accelerated version of how fossil fuels are created "in nature"...

You are right what smells downright evil to me, might not to someone else. But considering that you have been to bandini, and still the the cardboard place is worse, I'll just take your word on it dude, I don't ever want to get near it...LOL.....last I saw the Farmer John plant it was still up...but that was well over a decade ago....funny that there is a 7-11 across the street and I went in for a hot dog...
