Misty Kempton, Communications Manager • October 6, 2022

Aqua-Yield is welcoming a new Idaho District Manager, Mike Nielson to the team. He grew up in a small farming community and as far back as he can remember he can look back on the old adage, “pray for rain” for his neighbors and family friends. Though he can’t control the weather, Mike is excited to introduce the world renowned technology of Aqua-Yield to communities in his area. Mike has over 17 years in the agriculture industry and is excited to continue his growth with nanotechnology. An avid outdoor enthusiast, he enjoys fishing and hunting. However, don't be surprised to find him on the golf course or spending time with family and friends. 

Aqua-Yield is happy to welcome Philip Dwyer to the team as our Category Direct of Professional Turfgrass. He is most excited about helping build new business ventures for Aqua-Yield in the professional turfgrass market. As the golf game surges, having Philip on our team will be a pivotal entrance with new technologies to help turf managers succeed in creating optimal playing conditions. He is especially excited about the potential growth in sod production and athletic field care. Philip is a proud Michigan State Spartan and received degrees in Crop & Soil Science and Botany & Plant Pathology with a specialization in turfgrass disease management. When he isn't at work you can find him doing an array of outdoor activities. Gardening, wood splitting, nature study and having campfires in the surrounding woods and being a Cub Scout leader. Philip also enjoys art, is an avid cook, bicyclist and traveler.
