People from the Bay Area started moving into the Valley and buying homes for that country living experience, then started bringing lawsuits against farmers because of the smells, flies and noise at night apparently not realizing that farms, especially dairy farms, can be rather pungent and are a 24 hour a day operation. It got so bad that both Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties had to enact a Right to Farm ordinance. I'm not joking.
