Nanoliquid ag input company Agua-Yield, Sandy, Utah, announced on April 1 that it has partnered with WestLink Ag Group to distribute all company products through WestLink’s 42 retail outlets. Aqua-Yield CEO and Co-Founder Clark T. Bell said the partnership will get the company’s entire Nano-Yield™ product line to farmers across the nation.
“We have been selling our product through farm dealers, independent retailers, and co-ops since we launched our product in 2018,” Bell said. “That will continue, but now there is this very exciting transition as we begin to work with corporate co-ops and well-established companies like WestLinkg Ag Group.”
Founded in 2014, Aqua-Yield was the first company to implement the use of nanoparticles in the ag sector, and said its line of nano-based products have proven to improve crop protection performance, nutrient uptake, and overall crop yield. The WestLink partnership is the largest retail agreement for Nano-Yield in the continental US.
“WestLink is a member-driven ag buying group, and as we better understood their network of outlets, it was obvious we needed to create this alliance and get our entire product line or nanotechnology closer to farmers across the nation,” Bell said.
Aqua-Yield expanded its nano-liquid line in November with the addition of Nanocote™, a patented nanoparticle technology that the company said improves the delivery of macro and micronutrients in dry fertilizers through a unique and flexible coating technology.
