Why we built Upwind Report
Washington won't settle this for you.
Questions about farm chemicals, drinking water and health come up in Washington again and again, and they rarely get settled there. Families still have to decide where to live, what to drink and what to grow.
The numbers to start with are already public. Federal agencies publish estimates of farm pesticide use, drinking water violations and county health rates. But they're spread across agencies, file formats and websites that weren't built for families.
Upwind Report puts them in one place, on one map, with every source named. We show where numbers are higher or lower. We don't say what causes what, and nothing here is medical advice. You decide what it means for your family.
