Brief Project Summary:

The Purdue odor setback distance model is a tool that is used to calculate reasonable odor setbacks for existing and proposed livestock facilities in Indiana. The model has been used to resolve conflicts between livestock producers and neighbors in various situations. Phase I of the study funded by the Indiana Soybean Alliance had five objectives:
1) Identify individual sources and setback distances.
2) Provide economic setbacks based on odor exposure percentages.
3) Specify odor abatement methods.
4) Include dairy operations; and
5) Provide emission rates of various manure storage and treatment facilities.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
