I shudder to think what a "sewage farm" is, but I imagine it is something mundane that just happens to have a name that makes Americans think, "why on Earth would you farm sewage?"

Gotta have a lot of euphemisms for your sewage treatment plant. Apparently they now call it a "water recycling centre"

My guess is a sewage treatment plant? Many of those have parts exposed to the air and don't smell nice.
