NanoCon: Level up ’22!

Dec 01, 2021

Innovative ag dealers from all over the country gather for the big event by Aqua-Yield®

Big things are happening for our “nano” company, and the excitement and passion for helping growers nationwide with our new technology is highly contagious. November 15-17 was our 2nd Annual NanoCon located in Salt Lake City, where current and future dealers of Aqua-Yield® nanoliquids gathered to learn more about the technology and some of our latest developments.


NanoCon first began with a reception Monday night in which dealers had a chance to mingle with fellow innovators and Aqua-Yield® employees. Tuesday morning began with the Pledge of Allegiance by City of South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey, followed by a moment of silence for our friend and employee David Porter that had passed the week prior . The day was full of educational presentations, a dealer panel, and awards. Wednesday was “fun day” in which attendees could venture out on a tour of Park City and/or visit the new Aqua-Yield hub located in Sandy.


The excitement among dealers and employees has energized everyone for another year of rapid growth and education, especially as everyone prepares for the new product launches. With our recent news of becoming a USDA and EPA Winner of the Next Gen Fertilizer Innovations Challenge , growers are encouraged by the benefits our products have to offer, especially during this time of economic turmoil.

New product launches for 2022

Huge issue in the farming community and we need to have more resources for suicide prevention.

Mental Wellness: Ending the Stigma in Farming Communities

By Brooke Rosqvist, Marketing Manager • 14 May, 2024
Farming often carries a heavy burden of stress and isolation. Studies consistently reveal that farmer suicide rates are alarmingly higher, ranging from 2 to 5 times the national average. Farmers face unique challenges—from natural disasters to financial uncertainties— all taking a toll on their mental health. It's time to stop the stigma surrounding mental wellness in agriculture and extend a hand to those who need support. After all, the future of agriculture depends on the well-being of its stewards. Why Farmers are at Risk: In rural communities, the taboo to start a conversation around mental health stifles and prevents those in need from seeking help. There's a common misconception that admitting to struggles is a sign of weakness, rather than a testament to human resilience. The pressures of financial instability, unpredictable weather, and the relentless demands of farming increases stress levels. When left unaddressed, this chronic stress can spiral into depression, enveloping individuals who contribute so much to our society. Signs Someone May Be Struggling: Recognizing the signs of mental health challenges is crucial for intervention. Changes in their behavior, withdrawal from their social interactions, increased accidents on the farm, neglect of animals, and a decline in personal appearance or farm upkeep can all indicate someone is struggling. By staying vigilant and observant, we can extend a helping hand to those in need. Ways to Take Action: It's not enough to encourage struggling farmers to seek help; we must also empower their loved ones to initiate conversations about mental health. Simple gestures like regular check-ins, offering assistance with farm tasks, or providing a listening ear can make a world of difference. These small acts of compassion can break through the walls of isolation and offer a glimmer of hope. Breaking the Stigma: Invite ways to have open dialogue and foster conversations about mental health within your farming communities. We can challenge misconceptions and pave the way for acceptance and support. As James Dixon of the Arkansas Farm Bureau aptly stated, “seeking help is an act of strength, not weakness”. It is this act of strength that saved his own life. Let's redefine resilience as the courage to ask for help when it's needed most. Conclusion: Together, we have the power to transform farming culture into one that prioritizes mental wellness. Let's remain vigilant for signs of distress among our friends, families, and colleagues and have the courage to speak up. By extending compassion and support, we sow the seeds for a healthier, more resilient agricultural community.
