A FED-UP husband told how his wife "cries every day" due to 200,000 tonnes of stinking rotten corn dumped on their doorstep.

       Robert Shaw, 50, says his wife Michelle - who suffers from asthma - can't cope with the "absolutely disgusting" smell coming from a local biogas company close to their home in Woodmansey, Yorkshire.

       He says the Woodmansey Farming Company building has caused them trouble since it was built a couple of years ago - but the rotting corn outside of the house last Monday was the final straw.

       He said: "It is just absolutely unliveable now. We can't even go

       into the garden because it smells so bad.

       "My wife goes to bed crying every night because of how bad it is.

       He claims the firm are "working outside" their designated parameters - and said it's totally "out of order".

       He added: "It has caused a fly infestation and it's going to attract so much

       vermin, it is unbelievable.

       "My wife is a chronic asthmatic and the smell in the air is just absolutely disgusting.

       "The house is in the middle of nowhere and it is worth about ￡600,000, it is not even some backstreet dump."

       Robert also believes the plant has rotten potatoes, which he says are

       contributing to the foul smell in the area.

       He has tried to contact the Environment Agency but was told they are

       experiencing delays as they are working from home.

       He said: "My dad had a cancer operation a couple of months ago and we

       were celebrating him coming out of hospital. We invited everyone over

       for a barbecue and my family said 'no we can't sit here, we can't

       stand it'.

       "You shouldn't have to live your life like that. This is on a whole

       new level. We are on the verge of walking away from our house.

       "We have not even been able to eat outside our house for a while

       because of how bad it is."

       Colin Hammond, Head of Strategic Business Development at the firm, said: "The Woodmansey Farming Company (WFC) grows crops in the local area to supply 4UFresh Produce Ltd who process produce for the food industry.

       "WFC applied to the Environment Agency and was granted, a temporary

       field permit on agricultural land owned by WFC, to store harvested

       whole crop maize for processing through the vegetable processing

       factory.

       "The production of vegetable extracts is a new venture for the

       vegetable processing factory and will complement the seasonal market

       for processed potatoes."
