Cultivating prosperity through soil health: Mennell to lead MyLand’s growth and sustainability efforts
MyLand, a soil health company, announced today Bill Mennell joined the company’s leadership team as Principal, Strategy and Analysis, to identify and pursue new business opportunities for MyLand’s unique Soil as a Service (SaaS) solution.
In his role, Mennell will focus on partnership expansion, natural asset strategies, and identifying the agriculture sectors where the MyLand System® can have the greatest impact for growers. Mennell began his role in May 2023. He reports to Dane Hague, MyLand CEO and Co-founder, and oversees the Algae, Ag Science, and Data teams, where he aims to advance MyLand’s technical expertise.
“Bill is uniquely qualified to take MyLand forward in our growth and sustainability efforts, and his expertise will help us better serve our customers and stakeholders,” says Hague. “With his background and understanding of soil, water, climate, and agriculture’s influence on each, Bill will play a crucial role in our company’s future.”

His role will directly impact MyLand’s efforts to increase growers’ productivity, economic security, and profitability.
“MyLand has tremendous potential to create a healthier world and better future by improving soil health,” said Mennell. “We are building an outstanding team and connecting with external partners to position MyLand for growth and expansion. MyLand is the only organization supporting growers through data-driven efforts with live, native microalgae and Exceptional Service.”
