And as has happened elsewhere, hog farming in Kentucky has triggered a tug of war between farmers, residents and government officials over economic renewal, smell and waste disposal.

For county coffers, the hog barns mean more tax income.

Barns are taxed at fair cash value, meaning nearly $35,000 in annual property taxes on Allen County hog barns and land valued at just more than $4 million.

It's the American way. Love that bacon, sausage, ribs and country ham, but don't build a " hog barn" in my backyard.

But where can I build a " hog barn" ?

" In someone else's backyard, of course "
