“We could not be more pleased with the integrity, commitment to purpose and dedication to agriculture exhibited by each of these individuals,” says Mr. Bell. “These additions to our existing staff indicate to farmers and all of agriculture that Aqua-Yield is aggressively ready to move into the future with both our ever-increasing nano-based product line and our commitment to partnering with all clients in supplying superior product through our Nano-Shield® delivery technology, while addressing every question or situation that may arise.”


Dr. Christopher Hendrikson knows this is a critical time for agriculture and that research and development will play a pivotal role. “Farmers and horticulturalists are being asked, or outright required to do more with less. Our technology directly addresses these challenges,” he says. “My primary opportunity with Aqua-Yield is to highlight new perspectives and possibilities of existing AY technologies, and build new technologies that advance Aqua-Yield objectives toward our stakeholders.”


Jenny Phillips will direct Aqua-Yield’s marketing focus. “Our basic survival needs start with what farmers help provide to us”, she says. “I grew up in the big city of Cleveland, Ohio. It wasn't until I was an adult and started working in agriculture that I gained an appreciation and admiration for growers around the country.” She added, “I see my primary role with Aqua-Yield as an agricultural and brand advocate; I am here to help educate growers and get the word out on this exciting new technology through digital media.” 


Cherry and Porter will add diversity, drive and overall agricultural acumen to a growing Aqua-Yield sales force. Aqua-Yield is thrilled to have both men join the team. “My role is to bring the innovative Nano-Shield® technology delivery in our product to growers and channel partners throughout the southeastern United States,” says David Porter. “ Farmers are the original stewards of the land. Aqua-Yield’s tech stack helps them maximize efficiencies in both fertility and crop protection applications. This increase in efficiency helps the farmer not only save time and money but also helps the environment by reducing the excess crop inputs.”


And finally, from Keegan Cherry. “My goal is to help the farmer be more profitable by managing risk and being more efficient in a sustainable manner. As a technology company in agriculture, Aqua-Yield has the people and products that can deliver on this goal.” He added, “Aqua-Yield and its proprietary nano-technology positively influences agriculture right now because the company is uniquely positioned to help our customers drive yield potential and mitigate stress throughout the growing season - all while delivering a positive ROI for the operation. In addition, Aqua-Yield and our products help growers reach their goals through sustainable Ag practices that are beneficial for the soil, plant and environment. More environmentally friendly farming techniques offset climate challenges and protect local ecological systems while securing the food and water supply. To me, that’s at AY’s core."


Mr. Bell added: ”Our employees are simply outstanding and our product continue to change the way famers approach the feeding of their crops. The Aqua-Yield technology gets the most out of every acre, while using less and yielding more. Our dedication to having the most qualified people at Aqua-Yield ensures the best product and services to our clientele and specifically to the nation’s and the nation’s growers."


Aqua-Yield is a nanobiologicals company. Our liquid nano delivery system and inputs help growers sustainably grow their profits by solving their plant absorption problems. Growers can add Nano-Shield, our nanotechnology encapsulation and delivery system to their tanks and yield better-quality, faster-growing crops and healthier soils with less cost and inputs. And they can apply our pre-mixed liquid nanofertilizers to give plants instant access to the nutrition and protection needed to thrive. Specialty and commodity growers nationwide have proven that both options work on their own fields.Whatever you grow, your pro-gram will perform better with our products, guaranteed.
