Thank you for making this statement Randy. 

Why is this research data so well veiled? They claim it is due to trade secrets. 

In the case of the current reevaluation of neonics by CA DPR, I would have to think that this reevaluation process could have been sped up with peer review as well as independent research. 

How does Patent law work into this equation? When the registrants receive a patent, aren't most trade secrets disclosed for that product? Why would lab and field research data be any different. 
I am not an attorney and may be wrong in this understanding of patent law. Anyone here know how this works?
