Political Factoid
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
continues to allow the use of
neonicotinoids, a class of pesticides
widely used in corn production, which
are associated with the mass die-offs
of honeybees.
Agribusiness corn producers and ethanol
production companies favor the continued
use of such pesticides.
More than a third of the corn produced in the
U.S. is now used to make ethanol.
