This article says:

"Without neonics or a suitable replacement, farmers could face sizable losses. One industry study estimated the fallout at $5.78 billion<http://www.neonicreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HFFA%20Report.pdf> per year in Europe alone—and many multiples of that if a ban is instituted in the US and other major agricultural economies, with the costs passed on to consumers."

Is there any evidence to back this up?  Studies previously posted on this list show that use/no use of neonics don't affect crop yield significantly.
