Burning manure pile goes out after four months

MILFORD, Neb. - It took nearly four months, but to the relief of neighbors miles around, a burning manure pile has been extinguished.

David Dickinson, owner and manager of Midwest Feeding Co., said Wednesday that several weeks of pulling the 2,000-ton pile apart proved effective by late last week.

"We got far enough through it, that it quit," Dickinson said.

Dickinson's feedlot, about 20 miles west of Lincoln, takes in as many as 12,000 cows at a time from farmers and ranchers and fattens them for market.

Byproducts from the massive operation resulted in a dung pile measuring 100 feet long, 30 feet high and 50 feet wide. Heat from the decomposing manure deep inside the pile is believed to have eventually ignited the manure.

Spontaneously combusting sh!t.
 
I live in Lincoln and have driven right near the fire. I think the smell claims are way overblown - I didn't get a whiff at all from inside the car. It is a funny story though.
 
Geez..the other one was posted at 1:30. I posted mine at 1:46 so I missed the other post in the process of posting mine. Chill out Ilmater. You're acting like someone bit your testes.

I just drove by there a week and a half ago and we could smell it for two or three miles.

Maybe I had the wind blowing the other way then. The thread summary of all Nebraskans rejoice is a bit overblown though.
 
Spontaneously combusting cow sh1t huh? Does this mean i should have an extinguisher next to my toilet? 😀
