Québec Farmer Panel: Neonic Treated Seeds

January 23 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am EST

Join University of Vermont Extension and the Vermont Bee Lab for a discussion with Québec farmers to learn about their experiences transitioning away from neonicotinoid (“neonic”) treated seeds. In 2019, Québec limited neonic pesticide use to protect pollinators and our environment. Similar to the New York bill that was signed into law this past December, these restrictions applied to neonic coatings on corn and soybean seeds, two of the largest uses of neonics in the province. In this panel discussion with four Québec farmers, we will learn how they navigated this transition and the challenges they faced.
