Hi All,

I often hear claims that the neonic seed treatments are harmful to
earthworm populations.  But surprisingly, I've never seen any data from a
manly researcher who actually took the trouble to put shovel to earth.  Has
anyone on the List ever dug soil from a neonic-treated field and compared
the earthworm population to similar nearby soil that has the same amount of
organic matter?
