Farmer’s Cannon Too Loud, Say Neighbours
A group of Kentucky residents is suing a farmer, claiming the propane cannon he uses to scare away birds from his corn is too loud. Some of Dennis Polley's neighbours say the propane blasts are as loud as 120 decibels. Phil Palmgreen, whose property is about 500m away, said he could feel the impact of the blasts in his chest. Polley's wife, Debby said: ``What's going to be next? Will they not want you to start your tractors until 10 o'clock in the morning?''
FOOTNOTE: A cannon? That’s some calibre.

My friends kid has a potato cannon that is fueled by Aqua Net hair spray. He shoves a spud down the barrel and sprays some hair stuff in the other end, hits the trigger ans it blows the spud about a block. Their neighbors are not calling the cops, because they are used to celebratory fusillades of gun fire from time to time, as the local teams win games, or just because it's Saturday night. It's a free country, right?
Food comes out of packets and cans, why oh why is the farm next door so noisy and smelly all the time?
It just isn't nice.
I grew up in the country and a propane cannon (new to me) sounds like a great idea.
Get cats.
I'd say, the neighbor might not complain about noise cannons, if he instead got 16-pound cannonballs landing in his dining room instead....
