Located in California, it seems like its been closed for a while, so no smell. Looks like there was water in the retention ponds and farm tanks around 2009
@encampist Thank you so much for your videos and hard work! It means so much to your followers. I'm from Cali and don't know much about that Tilapia farm.

You are whispering. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to hear what you’re saying. I’m sure it’s my TV. That’s just not very good. Wish I could’ve watched it all the way through.
Thank you for the images. Also, thanks for not giving the location. I have been there several times. Yes, it is interesting. But you need to do a little more research before you make a good video. This was not built for tilapia. It was originally a Jojoba farm. The government was giving subsidies for that produce and many farm properties started in that area. The surrounding valley is filled with failed jojoba farms used as tax breaks when the US Government subsidized jojoba oil. All the small homes were for farm employees. Tilapia was added later. When the Jojoba subsidies ended the farms went out of business. Most of these farms are now covered by solar panels. Another government subsidy. When these subsidies end the solar panels will be abandoned in the desert just like this place was. And then we can explore them and wonder what happened with our tax dollars. I like most of the video with the natural sound rather than the creepy music. Take care and happy exploring.
While Jojoba farms were common in the area, and you can see a lot of the remnants from satellite images, this in fact was a tilapia farm. On the other side of the highway there is also a still operational aquaculture farm that raises tilapia. The warehouse building in the end of the video was a packing plant. In a clip I cut from this video, I found a couple of binders in one of the buildings that included sales records. At the time when this video was made, the property was also listed for sale and the property description also cited it was a previously operational tilapia farm.
@@backroadoddities While it is true that they raised fish there it was originally a jojoba farm, a thousand acres worth. The area to the east (and north and south), which is all solar now, was planted with jojoba. I drove through it before solar started. I first started exploring that area in 1991. I even talked to some jojoba farmers. The aquafarm you mentioned was abandoned property in 2010. It was built up since.
@@backroadoddities I am not trying to invalidate the video. I thanked you for it. I am trying to help you understand that there is often more information available about historic locations than it first seems. There are layers in history. It is your choice to learn or just become defensive.
Thanks for the video.
Wierd and strange yet interesting. Does the area smell like Tilapia? 👍What state is this located in?

Sorry, I don't see how that invalidates this video at all. It was still a tilapia farm.
