Dale: have a look at Garry, V.F., D. Schreinemachers, M.E. Harkins, and J. Griffith. 1996. Pesticide appliers, biocides, and birth defects in rural Minnesota. Environmental Health Perspectives 104(4).

I'd be interested in your professional assessment, posted publicly to the list, of the objectivity of the study, and the significance of the risks identified in the study not just to the unfortunate offspring of the licensed pesticide applicators, but to the children of people living in the more pesticide-dense agricultural regions of the state.
