Congratulations to our 2024 NanoCon Award Winners:

Cornerstone Award- Tri-Yield

One of our legacy distributors, Tri-Yield continues to prove their relentless commitment to bringing nanotechnology to southeastern growers, despite mother nature’s tantrums, declining specialty crop markets and constant obstacles.  Tri-Yield has been an instrumental part of bringing nanotechnology to growers for over a decade, and Nano-Yield is grateful for our partnership with Chris Kamberg and his team.

Cornerstone Award- Erickson Custom Operations

Another one of our legacy customers, the Erickson’s are a powerhouse couple that have built a successful distributorship with a strong focus on selling Aqua-Yield nanoliquid products in the Dakotas. They came on board in 2018 and have shown no signs of slowing down. In December of last year they celebrated the completion of their new facility to be able to take their business to the next level. We thank Jim, Darcy, and their crew for their unwavering commitment to our brand and their customers.

Innovator Award- Skagit Farmers Supply

Skagit Farmers Supply based out of Washington was one of the early adopters of Aqua-Yield nanoliquid technology. Skagit is always looking for solutions that will enhance nutrient efficiency to maximize the grower’s dollars, so they were also eager adopters of the new NanoCote product. Not only were they one of our first promoters of NanoCote, they were also very instrumental in running field and plant trials to help us achieve a successful launch. Thank you to the team at Skagit for your ongoing support and partnership.

Innovator Award- Westland Seed

Another company eager to support the launch of NanoCote Core is Westland Seed.

Innovator Award- Kansas Farm & Ranch

Jon and Abby Johnson of Kansas Farm & Ranch have been distributors in the Oklahoma and south central Kansas area. Their small family-run organization has rapidly grown to a network of about 10 active dealers of nanoliquid products.  They also have been very instrumental in the launch of NanoCote, having been early adopters of nanotechnology on dry fertilizer.  We appreciate their dedication to the success of such an innovative launch.

Willman Ag is another small but mighty operation, having already moved 600 gallons of NanoPro this first year of sales.  They service central Kansas, and have already adopted the “Every Tank, Every Pass” mantra as they’ve also gained momentum from the Beck’s PFR data.  We thank Cory and Becky for pushing the boundaries of yield through nanotechnology.

Every Tank, Every Pass Award- Mountain West Agriculture

Mountain West Agriculture, a newer dealer located in Utah close to the Nano-Yield office, were also early adopters of the NanoCote Core product.  The “Every Tank, Every Pass” applies to Mountain West as they promote NanoCote Core with all of their granular fertilizer blends.  The Mountain West team has been excellent to work with as they navigate this new technology and educate local farmers.
