One of the most important topics for us to be aware of, the impact of the relatively new and pervasive insecticide, neonicotinoid seed treatment; persistent in our water, wind and soils.  Farmers have little choice, in the seeds they buy, to avoid it. This is the terrific article in Big River Magazine issue Jan-Feb 2025, "Where are the Mayflies" by John Lyons with a fascinating introduction my Reggie McLeod. Also we hear from Ellen Voss of the River Alliance of Wisconsin and her talk recently in Boscobel about neonics. She is the Climate Resilience Director with the River Alliance of Wisconsin and  co-coordinator of Wisconsin Neonicotinoid Workgroup.
