I believe EPA may have relevant data.  I once did a small study on pesticide use
in Eastern Washington for EPA Region X.  It was not exactly related (they wanted
to look at causes of pesticide misuse).

Clearly my own opinion

To add to Ruth's statement, we had a piece about the Tennessean
run on all of our local TV stations where they paraded a few of our 
local, well-known victims.
     
These folks make their primary living through agriculture which, I 
would hypothesize, would provide ample opportunity for significant 
exposures to pesticides and herbicides.
     
My question is this:  Does anyone know of any epidemiological 
studies that have been done on farming and ranching populations 
wherein chemical exposures were investigated for causal links to 
specific diseases?
     
We know what their rad exposures have been.... essentially 
nothing.
     
Any info would be appreciated!
