Welcome to the Team: New Regional Sales Manager, Mike Braun

New Blog Post: New Regional Sales Manager, Mike Braun

We’re excited to welcome Mike Braun to the Nano-Yield® team as our new Regional Sales Manager serving North Dakota and South Dakota.

Mike brings a strong combination of education, industry knowledge, and real-world agricultural experience to the role. He earned his Bachelor of Science from UW–Stout and later completed his MBA from the University of North Dakota.


At Nano-Yield®, Braun will work closely with distributors, dealers, and growers across his territory to support product education and on-farm understanding of Nano-Yield® technologies. He will build and maintain strong, long-term relationships while serving as a trusted resource for agronomic and product support. He will also focus on helping customers maximize the performance and value of their crop input programs by identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, enhance input utilization, and increase return on investment at the field level.


Throughout his career, Mike has built extensive experience across crop protection, fertilizer, and biological products, along with hands-on involvement in farming operations. This combination of technical product knowledge and real-world field experience has given him a well-rounded perspective on agronomic systems and input management strategies. His background provides a practical understanding of the challenges growers face each season, from weather variability and input costs to efficiency constraints. Mike recognizes the opportunities within these challenges to improve performance, optimize input use, and drive stronger outcomes in the field through more efficient and informed decision-making.


One of the things Mike enjoys most about agriculture is the opportunity to work alongside distributors, dealers, and growers and contribute to their long-term success. He values building relationships in the field, listening to real-world challenges, and being part of practical, solution-focused conversations that help drive better outcomes for operations of all sizes.


Mike was drawn to Nano-Yield® because of the company’s innovative technology and its focus on helping growers maximize every acre. He is excited to be part of a team that helps growers get more out of the inputs they are already using—supporting improved efficiency, maximizing yield potential, and increasing return on investment.



Please join us in welcoming Mike to the Nano-Yield® team. We’re excited to have his experience, dedication, and passion for agriculture helping serve growers across the Dakotas.

Nano-Yield® would like to congratulate Joel Mahin on his recent promotion to Director of Central Region Sales. Joel’s extensive background in agriculture has given him the valuable knowledge that he brings to work every day. He has experience in production, retail, distribution, agronomy, product development, and sales. As he completes his third sales season at Nano-Yield®, Joel continues to exceed expectations and contribute to the overall growth and success of his distributors, dealers, and growers. Joel started at Nano-Yield® as a Regional Sales Manager, covering Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. While these states remain part of his territory, Joel is now stepping into the role of Director of Central Region Sales. He will serve as a manager to Regional Sales Managers who cover the Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas regions. Joel said that bringing affordable products that work to the market is what motivates him every day. He wants to help growers succeed while contributing to the growth of his distributors and dealers. Joel hopes to pass on his knowledge and view of the business to the next generation. He said that the thing he enjoys the most about working for Nano-Yield® is the family atmosphere. When asked about his new role, Joel said the following: “I relish the challenge. I’m not done growing in Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. I want to take the model that I started in those three states and spread it to the other areas. There’s still room to grow — we’re not done yet.” Joel is known for his positive attitude, contagious energy, and ability to motivate others around him. When Joel is around, his peers know it’s going to be a fun and successful day. Mark Mitchell, Nano-Yield® Director of Sales U.S., said, “Joel earned this promotion through hard work, excellent sales numbers, and his team respects him and they trust him.” He added that Joel truly cares about his customers. He is a great team player, works well with others, and knows how to get the most out of his team. He’s selfless and all about Nano-Yield®. Landon Bunderson, Nano-Yield® CSO, said, “Joel always leads by example. He sets the tone for how to treat a customer and how to be successful.” We look forward to seeing what Joel accomplishes in his new role and are excited for the years to come. From everyone at Nano-Yield®, congratulations, Joel!
