You don't see it. That's the point.
Most corn, soy, and wheat seeds get coated in a neonicotinoid insecticide before they ever hit the ground. It's invisible. It's routine. And it's been wiping out pollinators, birds, and soil life for years.
New York just became the first state to ban neonic-treated seeds for corn, soy, and wheat. The Birds and Bees Protection Act phases out what scientists call the most ecologically destructive pesticide since DDT.
Here's why this matters. A seed treatment doesn't stay in the seed. It washes into the soil. It bleeds into field margins. It shows up in the pollen and nectar that bees collect. A single treated corn kernel can carry enough active ingredient to kill a songbird.
Native bumble bees have been crashing partly because every field around them is toxic. New York drew the line. Farmers will have to find other ways to manage pests. And the bees, birds, and butterflies in New York fields just got something they haven't had in years — clean ground.
The rest of the country is watching. Because if the nation's third-largest agricultural state can do this, the question isn't whether other states will follow.

The USDA is paying farmers to convert 40,000 acres of cornfields to prairie, and the $3.1 billion program runs through 2028.
This isn't a pilot project. This is agricultural policy recognizing that monarch butterflies need milkweed more than we need marginal corn. Farmers can grow monarch habitat instead of unprofitable soybeans and get paid through the Conservation Reserve Program. The rows in this photo represent the transition—corn on one side, native prairie plugs on the other.
The scale matters. Forty thousand acres of restored prairie creates a corridor for pollinators through the agricultural Midwest. It filters runoff before it hits the Gulf of Mexico. It sequesters carbon in deep prairie root systems that go ten feet down. It provides hunting habitat for pheasants and waterfowl.
Farmers are signing up because the math works. Marginal corn ground—fields that flood in spring or dry out in summer—yields poorly. The CRP payment often exceeds crop profits. Meanwhile, the prairie establishes in three years and then manages itself with prescribed fire every few years instead of annual tillage, planting, and chemical application.
The program specifically targets monarch habitat, requiring milkweed and nectar plant establishment. It's not just "plant grass." It's ecological restoration with specific botanical requirements.
Is this the future of agricultural policy—paying farmers to restore ecosystems rather than maximize commodity production? Should taxpayers fund 40,000 acres of prairie when corn prices are high?

I post this to inform your of another effort to destroy our environment with plastics. This is not “recycling” because these chemicals do not degrade naturally into our environment. Add this to the destruction of our environment with data centers. There is a donation request at the end, but I am not promoting that.

EPA is handing the plastics industry another Free Pass to Pollute. Don't let them get away with it! Join Moms Clean Air Force in telling EPA incinerating plastic in our communities without pollution controls is appalling and illegal.

Does she not know about The Rife wellness frequency technology? The FDA burned down his library. Frequencies have been around forever. Sound bowls, tuning forks. Homeopathy is based in frequencies. Sen. Dick Durbin has been tryin to outlaw it even though FDA has used the US homeopathic pharmacopeia since it was authorized in the 1930’s. But since you can not patent what is found in nature Big Pharma does not what to hear it. Pun intended.
