At the ABF conference this week Rick from the EPA announced  that they have
out a new risk assessment on one of the 4 classes of neonics.  The other 3
are due out in the next year or so.

Read for yourself please,   keep in mind also that this risk assessment in
on the EPA website open for comments ( I don't have the link)

Bottom line its shows that in most cases this one is pretty low risk  except
for oranges and cotton.   Looks to me like it's a darn good step.  Of course
many on both sides are still unhappy.

We asked for action and we got some,  Kudos to the EPA.
