Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Gong Farmer
Gong farmers, active in medieval England, disposed of human waste by collecting it from privies and cesspits. They transported the waste in carts, often at night, to avoid public scrutiny. The waste was then dumped in designated areas, such as fields or rivers, or used as fertilizer in agriculture, despite the health risks associated with such practices.
