ALAMEDA, Calif., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Proton Laboratories Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: PLBI), a biotechnology company that develops practical uses for electrolyzed water, unique byproducts of the electrolysis process and the use of the electrolysis process in direct and indirect applications, is proud to announce that Proton has started a joint research and applications development program with Weber Farms located in the heart of Eastern Washington.

Weber Farms is family-owned with a long history of raising and marketing quality potatoes, wheat and corn. In 1979, Weber Farms built a fresh pack potato warehouse to ensure better quality and more oversight of the marketing of open potatoes both to domestic and foreign markets. In 1997, a state-of- the-art potato storage facility capable of storing 50,000 tons was built. End uses of Weber Farm potatoes are generally in the areas of boxed and bagged potatoes for retail stores, hash browns, French fires and other retail-type products.

Weber Farms has agreed to work with Proton in various areas where Proton's electrolyzed water, with its unique efficacies, can be integrated into potato production and post-harvesting processes. Understanding that Proton's water brings about certain potato maintenance efficacies, environmental and worker safety, on-site production abilities and cost efficiencies, both parties are looking forward to a mutually rewarding relationship. Mr. Bill Weber of Weber Farms stated that, 'The management group at Weber Farms is always looking for innovative ways to improve its product and its pre-and-post maintenance processes and that Proton's water may provide those new approaches.

Mr. Carl Halterman, Vice President of Proton Laboratories, stated, 'I have studied enough of the applications of Proton's water in various agricultural processes to realize that a totally innovative approach to some of today's agricultural concerns may be at work'. Mr. Halterman also stated that once sustainable results are attained, through small-scale testing, well-qualified third party verifications will be made on the processes.
