Find farms and ranches and the owners and farm managers who run them

Start from the agricultural registers rather than a contact database. In the United States the USDA Census of Agriculture counts every farm and ranch by size, acreage and commodity down to county level, and the USDA Organic INTEGRITY Database names every certified organic operation. In the UK and the EU, published CAP and Basic Payment Scheme beneficiary data names the farms that received agricultural payments, and Red Tractor and the organic certifiers list assured holdings. Causo reads those alongside planning portals and satellite imagery, so a farm with no website is as findable as one with a marketing budget.

Those databases are assembled largely from professional profiles and web signals that skew heavily toward software and services. Agriculture is the opposite shape. The USDA Economic Research Service reports that family farms of various types accounted for 97 percent of US farms in 2024, and that small family farms with under $350,000 in gross cash farm income accounted for 86 percent of them. A two-generation partnership farming 1,500 acres usually has no company page, no job postings and no software stack to detect, so it never enters the database and no filter will surface it.

Several, and they are among the richest public registers of any industry. EU member states are legally required under Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 to publish the name of each beneficiary of agricultural payments and the amounts received, and each country hosts its own searchable database. The UK Rural Payments Agency publishes equivalent farm payment data. In the United States the USDA Census of Agriculture publishes farm counts and characteristics every five years, and the USDA Organic INTEGRITY Database is a searchable register of every certified organic operation with its certifier, scope and status.

Yes, in plain English. None of the three is a field in any contact database, so Causo works them out from published payment claim areas, satellite field boundaries, livestock holding records and the organic and farm assurance registers rather than looking them up. Because those sources are read at the moment you search, a certificate issued last month appears in this month’s results.

The farm business, why it matched, the evidence behind that with its source, and the decision maker with a verified email address. You can then ask follow-up questions about any result, such as how many acres it actually farms or whether its organic certification scope has changed, and get answers with sources attached.

Yes. The sources differ by country, so Causo uses the local equivalents. In the United States that is the USDA Census of Agriculture, the Organic INTEGRITY Database and state departments of agriculture. In the United Kingdom it is the Rural Payments Agency, county parish holding and livestock movement records, Red Tractor and organic certifiers such as the Soil Association and OF&G. In Germany it is Agrar-Fischerei-Zahlungen for payment data and certifiers such as Bioland and Naturland, and every other EU member state publishes its own beneficiary database on the same legal basis.

It depends on the size and structure of the business. On an owner-operated family farm it is usually the owner, and often two family members together. Above roughly 2,000 acres, or on an estate, there is more often a farms director, an estate manager or a farm manager who holds the budget, with a herdsperson or agronomist specifying the detail. Causo surfaces the role alongside the holding so you can tell which of those you are looking at before you write.

One token per researched company, per decision maker found, per question asked and per outreach sequence sent. Plans start at $10 a month, and the first 10 tokens are free with no card required.
