> Marc, I am curious to know what you mean when you say MD “legislatively greatly reduced the use of neonics to the few cases where it made sense.” Does that mean that the MD legislature actually passed a bill restricting the use of neonics? If so, please supply a link to that. I’m in Virginia, by the way. And any hints for how you all successfully did that would also be appreciated.
