- Nearly all commodity corn farmers receive seed coated with neonics each season.
- Many cannot identify the chemical coating on their seeds and only opt for it because a seed salesperson recommends it.
- Companies have made it nearly impossible for farmers to find corn seed that isn’t coated with neonics.
- Farmers often feel peer pressure not to ask questions or change their practices in the face of concerns about neonics’ safety.
