Nelson and Pade, Inc. Receives Agri-Business of the Year Award

Nelson and Pade, Inc, a company located in Montello, WI that provides aquaponic technology, systems and supplies, was named Agri-Business of the Year at the Tri-County Economic Development Summit, which took place in Montello, WI. Bill Wheeler, Executive Director of the Tri-County Development Corp presented the award.

Aquaponics is a sustainable method of growing food in which you raise fish and plants together in one integrated, soilless system. The fish waste provides fertilizer for the plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in. Aquaponics can be used to naturally raise fresh fish and vegetables for a family, to feed a village or to generate profit in a commercial farming venture.

Rebecca Nelson, Nelson and Pade, Inc., spoke at the Economic Development Summit, sharing information about aquaponics and the role Nelson and Pade, Inc. has played in developing this industry over the past 20 years.

Nelson comments, “It is an honor to be recognized for our efforts in aquaponics and sustainable agriculture. This technology is redefining agriculture, allowing aquaponic growers to produce premium quality crops close to the marketplace. Aquaponics can be a profitable venture, a fascinating hobby, a hands-on learning tool in school or a source of protein and vegetable crops in a village anywhere in the world.”

Wisconsin is a state known for a strong agriculture industry. With Nelson and Pade, Inc.’s presence and several new commercial aquaponic operations that they are guiding, it is now dominating the aquaponics industry.
