I am trying to find out information on a pesticide distributor called
Nations' Ag.  I believe they are based in Knoxville, and know very
little about them.  I would like to know what they do, what type of
services do they offer, how big are they, and what types of companies
and products do they work with.

Thank you for your question regarding Nations Ag.  The company may be
called Nations AG II, LLC, which is based in Williamsburg, VA. I could

Nation's AG was also involved in a pretty well known legal action
(well...at least it's well known in the chemical industry) against
Novartis a few years back.  An article on it can be found in Chemical
Week magazine for April 15, 1998.  I've excerpted a bit of it below:

Novartis Retreats in Face of Lawsuit; Patents 


"PESTICIDES SUPPLIER NATION'S AG (Knoxville, TN) has withdrawn a
lawsuit alleging that EPA and Novartis blocked its efforts to register
a generic version of Novartis's metalaxyl fungicide. The companies
reached a settlement earlier this month. The dispute began when EPA
canceled Novartis's registration for metalaxyl, thereby denying
Nation's Ag the ability to rapidly register a generic version of the
fungicide (CW, Jan. 21, p. 45). EPA and Novartis said at the time that
it was proper to cancel metalaxyl's registration because Novartis had
registered mefenoxam, a less toxic substitute.  Nation's Ag argued
that the effect of the decision was to shut out Novartis's competitors
from registering either fungicide, since mefenoxam was under patent.
"EPA had been manipulated by Novartis, which sought to continue its
monopoly," says David Weinberg, an attorney for Nation's Ag."
