>One farmer lost his entire herd. Testing the carcases showed that
Neonicotiniods were implicated from the cows eating fresh cut corn silage.

Hi Alf,

I'm also waiting to hear if this report gets confirmed.  BTW, silage is the
name for corn or other green matter AFTER it has been fermented.

One notable property of the neonics is their low mammalian toxicity--that's
the "neo" part of their advantage over nicotine.
