I've never seen a text description of silage that communicates successfully just how truly bad silage smells, but "More like raw human sewage than actual raw human sewage" comes close. Truly awful stuff to be around for any length of time.

I grew up in the country side. And I don't mind silage at all. Smells a bit like sweet fermented grass to me. Pig farms on the hand, omg that odor travels for miles.

The 'sweet' part is what made me hate it so much. But I do agree hog confinements are worse.
