(RENO, NEVADA) February 22, 2005 - The response to American Soil Technologies' products at the North American Grain Congress in Reno, Nevada, this February 20-22 was, in a word - "Wonderful!" - according to ASTI sales representative, Tom Edwards.

"We had a lot of interest in our products," said Tom. "The people that go to this meeting are the top wheat and sorghum growers in the United States, the innovative farmers. The value of our presence here cannot be underestimated."

"We heard a lot about the drought in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Midwest," continued Tom. "Growers are looking for ways to maintain moisture levels in their soils and extend irrigation intervals. Our polymers can help them do that."

"The North American Grain Congress is a joint convention of the National Association of Wheat Growers and the National Grain Sorghum Producers," explained Johnny Dickinson, ASTI's VP of Marketing. "This year we were not only an exhibitor, but a sponsor."

"We gave two break-out seminars for the growers about cross-link polymers," shared Johnny. "We generated a lot of interest, and a lot of people came by our booth later to ask questions about how they could use polymers in their farming operations."
