Last week at our third annual NanoCon in Salt Lake City, several dealers received the "NanoInnovator" Award.  This is an award of appreciation of their passion and support of the Aqua-Yield® Brand, and helping growers solve their problems through the use of nanoliquid™ technology.

TriYield

Florida boasts the second largest Specialty Crop market in the US, demanding a well rounded and knowledgeable staff to be able to give recommendations from sod grass to peanuts.

 

Focusing on new technologies in crop inputs allows them to avoid low margin commodity products and keep their growers engaged in finding higher yields and better quality crops.

 

TriYield has proven themselves to be innovative by focusing on a wide range of crops as they were forced to pivot away from the citrus as that market continues to decline. Their relentless pursuit of the best agronomic recommendations has led to a loyal following as they bring nanoliquid technology to the Florida market.  They bring a 49% increase in growth over last year.

Liberty Ag

Liberty Ag based in the Northeastern states has stormed onto the agricultural scene with a vision of the future that brings efficiency and technology to their growers.


As part of the Novus Ag group they have the luxury of extensive product offerings while their team can focus on the latest technologies.  Whether it's the newest equipment tech., custom application, drone and imaging technology or seed treatment, Liberty Ag is able to offer the best options to their growers.


With a year under their belt exposing Aqua-Yield nanoliquid technology to their growers, Liberty Ag is poised to enjoy exponential growth.

Sugar Creek

Sugar Creek is a new distributor based out of Shelbyville, KY that has already set up subdealers in 8 states.  Their team brings over 50 years of firsthand experience farming and working with growers and ag advisors from around the country.  Sugar Creek’s team has brought several people to NanoCon and is positioned to grow exponentially in 2023 and beyond.

Riggs Ag Solutions

Riggs Ag Solutions is a new distributor based out of Danville, Indiana that has introduced Aqua-Yield nanoliquids to 30+ large growers and subdealers in the cornbelt.


Although they are a relatively new dealer for Aqua-Yield, we appreciate the energy and commitment that their team has brought.  Riggs has an extensive network and is set to explode in years to come.

JMC Enterprises

Located in the Yakima Valley, Kelley Cheatwood and JMC operate in a very competitive specialty crop market in the PNW. JMC has demonstrated a strong command of the science behind nanoliquids in their first 18 months as an AY distributor.


Working tightly with AY sales and technical support, JMC is working to investigate entire ly new applications of nanoliquids within the specialty crop production and postharvest commodity chain, providing a new possible income stream.


Kelley's an innovative thinker. He’s currently securing the right to a unique potato sprout-inhibitor product tha t he's looking to position as a post harvest applicator with powerful and unique technology.


JMC has risen to be one of Aqua-Yield’s Top 5 volume dealers in just their first year of selling.
