March 6, 2025

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Nous Holdings Inc., the parent company of TOMIGUNN, is proud to announce its selection by the State of West Virginia to spearhead an innovative field-testing initiative focused on biologicals for crops and remediation of soil and water.

Dubbed West Virginia BRAG (Biodynamic Regeneration in Agriculture), this endeavor aims to revolutionize farming in the state and beyond.

WV BRAG is led by Senator Darren Thorne, R-Hampshire, a commercial farmer representing the 15th District and whose practical experience brings invaluable insight into this pioneering effort.

"I'm thrilled to head up the WV BRAG project," Senator Thorne said. "This is an exciting opportunity to blend my hands-on farming experience with cutting-edge innovations, providing that we grow healthier crops, and restore our land and water naturally."

WV BRAG is the first in a larger initiative to make West Virginia the epicenter for commercially focused farming and learning.

Through meticulous field trials and detailed scientific oversight, the project will deliver concrete proof of the effectiveness and financial advantages of biologicals, transforming these often-overlooked products into mainstream solutions.

"As agriculture continues to evolve, West Virginia is committed to leading the way in innovative, sustainable farming practices,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Kent Leonhardt. “The WV BRAG project represents a bold step toward harnessing the power of biologicals to improve soil health, water quality, and crop yields. We look forward to working with our partners to ensure these advancements benefit our farmers and the future of agriculture in our state."

This collaboration marks a significant step toward positioning West Virginia as a leader in commercially focused biodynamic agriculture. More details on the project's timeline and specific testing sites will be released in the coming months.

“Seeing is believing when it comes to biologicals, and we're thankful to the West Virginia Department of Agriculture,” Thomas Brophy, President of Nous Holdings Inc., said about the launch of the initiative.
