Darin Moon, owner, founder, and CEO of Redox Bio-Nutrients was among the honorees at the Idaho Ag Summit, presented by Leadership Idaho Agriculture.
Moon was honored for technical innovation as part of the 28th annual Governor’s Awards for
Excellence in Agriculture. Since founding Redox Bio-Nutrients nearly 30 years ago, Moon has
guided his company to be at the forefront of technological advancements to help farmers.
“This is a wonderful, absolutely well-deserved honor for Darin” remarked Dr. Michael Parrella,
University of Idaho Dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. “When I think of what he
has accomplished at Redox, I think of a research-based program that’s backed up by scientific
data collection and validation. When he talks about a product that’s going to be used by farmers,
it’s backed up by science.”
Agriculture is a vital industry in Idaho, with $8.45 billion in total production value in 2021,
according to the US Department of Agriculture. The state has nearly 25,000 farms and ranches,
producing more than 185 different commodities. Nearly one-fifth of Idaho’s sales are generated
by agriculture, food and beverage processing each year, according to the Idaho State Department
of Agriculture.
