Well, I'm not in the mid-West, but in the Champlain valley, according
one of the two seed/fertilizer/field services companies that cover the
area, all corn seed, unless organic, is treated with clothianidin.
Also, I used to buy my garden seeds from a company in New York state.
Their corn seed, formerly treated with captan, is now treated with
neonics. They don't offer untreated seed. I changed suppliers.
