At HumanureMap, we want to make one thing absolutely clear: we are not targeting farmers or ranchers.

Oklahoma agriculture is the backbone of our state. Family farms and ranches feed our communities, steward our land, and preserve a way of life that defines who we are. Many farmers operate responsibly, follow regulations, and work hard to improve soil health and sustainability.

Our mission is not to attack agriculture.

Our mission is transparency and education.

Why We Launched HumanureMap

Across the United States, treated human waste products — often referred to as humanure or biosolids — are being applied to agricultural land as soil amendments. These materials are regulated, and in many cases legally permitted for land application.

However, growing national concern has emerged around the presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals,” in biosolids. PFAS compounds do not break down easily in the environment and have been linked to contamination concerns in soil, groundwater, livestock, and crops in several states.

In Maine, Michigan, and other regions, farmers themselves have suffered devastating consequences after PFAS contamination was discovered on land where biosolids had been applied. In some cases, farms were shut down. Milk was discarded. Land values were impacted. Generational operations were placed at risk.

Those farmers were not villains.
They were victims of incomplete information.

That is precisely why HumanureMap exists.

This Is About Awareness, Not Blame

We believe Oklahoma farmers deserve full transparency about what materials are being applied to land and what long-term impacts may exist.

We believe neighbors deserve to know what is happening in their communities.

We believe policymakers should have accurate data to make informed decisions.

HumanureMap is a public documentation tool. It allows users to report and view land application activity in a centralized, transparent way. Reports are moderated and focused on location, timing, and material type — not personal attacks or accusations.

We are not anti-farmer.
We are pro-information.

Protecting Oklahoma’s Agricultural Future

Oklahoma agriculture should not be placed at risk by incomplete data or emerging contaminants that may not yet be fully understood.

Farmers deserve:

• Clear testing standards
• Transparent reporting
• Protection from unintended contamination
• Policies based on sound science

Communities deserve:

• Open access to information
• Honest dialogue
• Responsible environmental stewardship

HumanureMap supports informed decision-making, voluntary transparency, and constructive discussion.

We encourage farmers, ranchers, researchers, and community members to participate in good faith. By documenting activity and sharing accurate information, we can ensure that Oklahoma remains both agriculturally strong and environmentally responsible.

This is not about division.
This is about awareness.
