This is not to support a product. This is to let you know how big Pharma tried to destroy Natural Health practices. After the bigoted Flexner report, 20 colleges of Natural Health practices were closed. The timing is interesting also. In 1910 John D. Rockefeller was forced to break up his petroleum monopoly so he had to find another way to make money on his petroleum.
When people hear “seed treatment,” it often sounds minor — just a protective coating before planting. But many of these coatings contain neonicotinoid insecticides, and when used widely, their effects can extend beyond crop pests. Research has linked certain uses of neonics to risks for pollinators and insect-eating birds, especially when exposure occurs at scale.![]()
In 2024, Vermont enacted Act 182, restricting several outdoor uses of neonicotinoids and establishing a future, conditional ban on many neonic-treated field crop seeds, including common applications on soybeans and cereal grains. Some restrictions began in 2025, while treated-seed provisions are scheduled to take effect in 2029, aligned with timelines connected to New York’s Birds and Bees Protection Act.![]()
The broader issue is not limited to one chemical or one state. Habitat loss and pesticide exposure interact, affecting insects, birds, and agricultural systems together. Birds depend on abundant insect populations to feed their chicks, and pollinators require landscapes that are both resource-rich and low in harmful exposure. Vermont’s law reflects a growing policy approach that considers farming and conservation as interconnected systems rather than competing interests.![]()
