Use cases

Find agtech companies and agricultural technology decision makers

This page is for people who sell into agtech, not for growers choosing a product. These companies are not hidden: they are venture backed, they publish, and every database holds them. What no field carries is which crops the product actually works on, whether the company ships hardware, software or a registered biological, whether that biological holds an EPA registration, and whether it is a connected partner in the John Deere Operations Center. Search on those, and Causo reads platform partner directories, EPA product and establishment registrations, the EU Pesticides Database, USDA award records and filings at SEC EDGAR and Companies House company by company, then shows you the evidence behind every match.

Ask anything about an agtech company

Every result is a starting point, not an endpoint. Ask a follow-up about any company on your list in plain English and the agents go back out and read for it, then answer with the sources they used.

Which crops does this actually work on?
Answer

Corn, soybeans and sugar beet in the published trial results. Cotton is named on the roadmap page as next, and there is no specialty crop or orchard validation anywhere in the documentation.

SourcesProduct docs + published trial results
Is the biological registered, and where can it be sold?
Answer

Yes. One EPA registered product with a federal registration number, and state registrations in twelve states. California is not among them, so it cannot be sold there yet.

SourcesEPA product registration + state lead agency registers
Do they connect to John Deere Operations Center or Climate FieldView?
Answer

Listed as a connected partner in the John Deere Operations Center under data and analytics. No Climate FieldView listing, and the API reference describes a one-way export rather than a two-way sync.

Contact databases are assembled from what companies publish about themselves: professional profiles, funding rounds, tech stacks, hiring pages. An agtech company produces all of those. It raises rounds, it announces them, it hires engineers and agronomists in public, and Crunchbase, Apollo and ZoomInfo cover it well. Pulling a list of a few thousand companies tagged "agriculture technology" takes a minute, and anyone can do it. The problem is that the list is unusable, because the one label covers a sensor manufacturer, a farm management app, an autonomous tractor programme, a satellite imagery platform, a greenhouse climate computer and a soil microbial company, and no field separates them. The first question any partner asks is which crops or livestock the product actually works on, and that appears in no database anywhere: corn and soybeans is a different business from almonds, and neither is dairy. The second question is whether the company ships hardware, software or a regulated biological, which decides whether you are talking to a contract manufacturer, a cloud platform or a registration consultant, and the category tag "agtech" flattens all three into one word. Nothing records regulatory status either, so a biological with an EPA registration number and state registrations in a dozen states sits in the same row as one still in field trials, and a machine with EU type approval sits beside one that cannot be sold in Europe. Nothing records whether the product is listed as a connected partner in the John Deere Operations Center or integrates with Climate FieldView, which is the single strongest qualifier a channel partner has and exists only inside those partner directories. Nothing maps the dealer and distributor footprint that decides where the product can actually be bought. That evidence lives in the platform partner directories, EPA pesticide product and establishment registration databases and the state lead agency registers, the EU Pesticides Database, USDA grant and SBIR award records, Crunchbase and SEC EDGAR Form D filings, Companies House, and the companies’ own docs, changelogs and dealer locators. One more thing worth saying plainly: this page is about the vendors who sell technology to farms, not the farms themselves. If your buyer is the grower rather than the company building the product, the farms and ranches page is the one you want.

Frequently asked questions.

Because coverage is not the problem and the filters are. Agtech companies are venture-backed technology firms with marketing sites, announced funding rounds and public hiring pages, which is exactly the collection surface Apollo, ZoomInfo and Crunchbase are built on, so they are all in there. What those databases hold is firmographic: headcount, location, an industry label. The label "agriculture technology" covers a sensor manufacturer, a farm management app, an autonomous tractor programme and a soil microbial company at once, and no field records which crops the product works on, whether it ships hardware or a registered biological, or which farm platforms it integrates with. That evidence sits in platform partner directories, EPA and EU registers and the companies’ own documentation instead.

By reading the product rather than the industry label, because crop coverage is a field in no contact database. It is stated in the product documentation, the published trial results and field data, the crop-specific pages of the marketing site, the dealer literature and the label of any registered crop input. Causo reads those and reports the crops and livestock a product is genuinely validated on, so corn and soybean vendors can be separated from almond, vine and dairy vendors before you write the first email.

From the partner directory itself, not from a company profile. John Deere publishes a connected partner directory for Operations Center listing the software companies that are approved to exchange data with it and the category each one sits in, and Climate FieldView publishes its own partner listings the same way. Neither is a field in any contact database, and being listed is often the single strongest qualifier for a channel or integration partner. Causo reads those directories alongside each vendor’s integrations and API pages, so platform connection becomes something you can search for directly.

From the regulator, and the answer is different on each continent. In the United States, pesticides and most biologicals must be registered with the EPA under FIFRA, which publishes product registrations, the approved label and the registered producing establishments, and each state lead agency then registers the product separately before it can be sold there. In the European Union, the active substance is approved under Regulation 1107/2009 and listed in the EU Pesticides Database, then the finished product is authorised nationally by bodies such as the Ctgb in the Netherlands and the BVL in Germany, with the HSE handling Great Britain. Causo reads whichever of those applies and reports the registration status and the date it changed.

They are two different buyers with two different qualification problems. Agtech companies build and sell the technology: sensor makers, farm management platforms, robotics firms, imagery providers, greenhouse technology vendors and biologicals developers. Their suppliers are component and connectivity vendors, cloud and geospatial data platforms, contract manufacturers, machinery OEMs looking for integration partners, and dealer and distributor networks. Farms and ranches are those companies’ customers, and qualifying a farm turns on acreage, herd size, enterprise mix and land tenure instead. If your buyer is the grower rather than the company building the product, the farms and ranches page covers that market.

The company, why it matched, the evidence behind that with its source, and the decision maker with a verified email address. For an agtech company that typically means which crops or livestock the product is validated on, whether it ships hardware, software or a registered biological, its EPA or EU approval status and the date it changed, whether it appears in the John Deere Operations Center or Climate FieldView partner listings, its dealer and distributor footprint, and its funding stage and most recent round. You can then ask follow-up questions about any result and get answers with sources attached.

Yes. The platform directories are global, since John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView publish the same partner listings worldwide, and so are product docs and changelogs. The regulatory and filing layers differ by country. In the United States that is EPA product and establishment registration plus the state lead agencies, SEC EDGAR and the state business registries. In the European Union it is the EU Pesticides Database under Regulation 1107/2009 with national authorisation by the Ctgb in the Netherlands and the BVL in Germany, machinery type approval under Regulation 167/2013, and entity records at the KVK and the Handelsregister. In the United Kingdom it is the HSE for crop inputs and Companies House for filings, in Australia the APVMA and ASIC, and in Israel the Registrar of Companies. Causo reads whichever set applies to the country you are searching.
