"T.H. Bell formed Aqua-Yield in 1979 with 40 acres of sagebrush in Utah County. T.H. and his wife, Betty, wanted their sons to learn how to work together and earn money to go towards their college tuition. Warren, in particular, enjoyed the process of growing a quality crop. He gradually built the family farm into a successful business while his parents lived in Washington D.C., where T.H. served as Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Education. Eventually, Warren’s son, Clark, took an interest in the family’s sod business. An entrepreneur at heart, Clark started using nanotechnology to improve farm production.
From there, Warren and Clark met Fraser and Mike Bullock, investors who love to back science-based companies. Together, they incorporated Aqua-Yield and formed an investor group, including sod growers from Australia, Canada, Norway and South Africa. The company filed its first patent and discovered new liquid nano applications for agriculture. Aqua-Yield is now the leading nanoliquid company for agricultural production worldwide. T.H. and Betty would be proud to know that the seeds they planted 40 years ago are producing world-class results."

It was great meeting with Clark Bell and learning more about his Family Owned Operated Company! We look forward to seeing all that he and his family do in the future! Make sure to go and them out!
