Best Practices for Raising Hogs?

I do hope some of you can help with this request. Someone I know asked
me for information on alternative mid-sized hog farm operations (large
family farm, not factory farm size). She wants to know:
(1) What are good methods for proper treatment of waste to curb
pollution and stench?
(2) How can one provide humane living conditions for the animals?

She is hopeful that the neighboring hog farmer, who has formerly been a
good neighbor, will be open to good information. His hog operation is
unusually odorous, and his waste treatment leaves much to be desired. We
do not think he would consider pastured pork production.

Thanks for any help. Marian Buckner
