Nuisance Farm Odour is Target for ISU Researchers
Nuisance farm odour is the focus of the work of an Iowa State University (ISU) academics. Professor Hoff has led the development of a system for operating odour mitigation systems only when the weather conditions would lead them to affect neighbours.
