Urk! Sympathies! I'll find out later this year if our new home is urban enough to avoid "that fresh country air." (I'm also unsure of the rules governing the use of manure here. There would be water-table issues, I think.) But I have still-intense memories of the sensation, during school trips when we'd be on the bus, and downwind of some working farmer...
I'm surrounded by farms. Every spring and Autumn we smell the silage from the fields. It's not quite the same as cow shit I admit. I quite like the smells of silage and manure though, but then I've pretty much grown up with them. Farms tend to be smaller in England as well. Less smell.
