Maine farmers are warning that a new bill, LD 1323, could restrict neonics, a pesticide used on treated seeds that help protect corn for livestock feed, and they worry this change may limit their options for feeding cows.
Supporters say the bill will protect wildlife and the environment and recommend safer practices such as organic farming and crop rotation.
🏈 Sports
On Saturday, nearly 800 participants paddled a 16-mile course from Kenduskeag to Bangor—facing cold water and fast rapids.
