HB3411

Oklahoma Grassroots Awaiting review of version 4

1. It forbids them from using biosolids on food crops, so no more poopy PFAS carrots and corn and wheat… (Unfortunately they can still use it on hay, which is then taken up into the cows that end up as your steak.) 2. It makes them test for PFAS before land applying humanure. (Unfortunately it doesn’t make that info public, but, at least they’re testing now. 🙄) 3. It requires them to give warning of risks to the farmers taking free humanure. Kind of like a warning label on glyphosate and cigarettes. 👀 4. It limits land application in the same field to once every OTHER year. 5. It requires that the DEQ also approve methods like the microbes that eat humanure (saving cities millions and no need to land apply) and super critical water solutions (water hotter than molten lava that destroys PFAS and bacteria etc in humanure.) These two methods are things we specifically asked for, and I appreciate Representative John George including them in the bill for us.

Save Oklahoma Farms And Ranches Awaiting review of version 4

This bill on humanure (biosolids) HB 3411 is being heard this morning. Below are the reasons we need to support HB 3411. 1. It forbids them from using biosolids on food crops, so no more poopy PFAS carrots and corn and wheat… (Unfortunately they can still use it on hay, which is then taken up into the cows that end up as your steak.) 2. It makes them test for PFAS before land applying humanure. (Unfortunately it doesn’t make that info public, but, at least they’re testing now. ) 3. It requires them to give warning of risks to the farmers taking free humanure. Kind of like a warning label on glyphosate and cigarettes. 4. It limits land application in the same field to once every OTHER year. 5. It requires that the DEQ also approve methods like the microbes that eat humanure (saving cities millions and no need to land apply) and super critical water solutions (water hotter than molten lava that destroys PFAS and bacteria etc in humanure.) These two methods are things we specifically asked for, and I appreciate Representative John George including them in the bill for us. Now, is this bill GREAT?? Nope. Not even close, but since they kìlled Senator Shane Jett and Representative Jim Shaw’s GREAT bills to ban humanure on farmland, this bill is the best we’ve got left this session. So, I’m asking for a yes vote today. (Because, some of us don’t retaliate against good legislation just because the senate author, Grant Green, voted in favor of a bill to destroy her donkey dairy less than 12 hours before…..) That would be wrong and vindictive, and would make me no better than them. It’s about what’s best for the people of Oklahoma. Please ask your OK State House Representative to vote YES on this bill today. Sincerely, The Donkey Milk Lady Save Oklahoma Farms and Ranches
