Where I'm at now, the worst smelling things are skunks and bears. Both smell terrible, though for different reasons. As far as worst smelling things that could possibly be in the area? Well, the worst that I've had the pleasure of smelling is the Harris Ranch feed lots down I-5 near Kettleman City. It's nasty, and the smell just wafts over the landscape for miles around.

This is true. I would put a dog food processing plant up there and a Brewery where they cook the Hops. |

It might surprise you what some people would consider a bad smell- I wouldn't mind living next to this company, but apparently his neighbors don't like the smell of coffee....

I would say nothing thanks to my neighbors having nice gardens. However, there are much worse noises than smells.

Some people complain about the Blommer Chocolate Factory in Chicago, too. I like the smell, myself.
An industrial hog farm smells FAR worse than a cow farm. Cow farms smell like manure. Hog farms smell like s&%#.
There's a chicken processing plant in my home town. At certain times of day, they spray chicken waste onto the fields that surround them. Those are some noxious times of day.

There is a hog farm in the east end of town that a man started just BECAUSE it stank. He was upset about the nighborhoods being built or something like that  |
