50 new agriculture-sector sponsor prospects for EcoFarm — start with BASF, ADM, AquaSpy and General Mills

Asked (summary):

EcoFarm wants corporate sponsors: find more named people to target at agriculture, farming and related companies who might fund the annual event.

The shortlist below covers 50 named contacts at 44 agriculture, agtech, farm-input, equipment, finance and food-supply companies, researched in a live-web scan on 23 October 2026. Six contacts carry an explicit demonstrated sponsorship signal — General Mills' evidence points to prior EcoFarm sponsorship itself — and six rows have a verified public work email; blanks mean no reliable public email was found and none was guessed.

Prospect board — all 50 contacts, triaged

Sorted by priority score (a research triage heuristic, not a probability of funding). Green rows carry an explicit sponsorship or exhibitor signal at a comparable agriculture event.

First-wave outreach

Lead with Jay Watson, senior director of sustainability at General Mills — the evidence trail points to prior EcoFarm sponsorship itself, the strongest propensity signal in the set. farmos.discourse.group

BASF (two contacts), ADM (two) and AquaSpy each show sponsor/exhibitor activity at comparable events such as World Agri-Tech San Francisco and Regenerative Agriculture 2026 — pitch EcoFarm's organic and regenerative farmer audience directly against those line items. conferencedatabase.com

Only 6 of 50 rows have a verified public email (e.g. Megan Madden at Paradigm Inputs, Tractor Supply's corporate communications desk); plan LinkedIn or switchboard outreach for the rest rather than guessing addresses. paradigminputs.com

The remaining 44 contacts are role-and-company-fit prospects in marketing, sustainability, partnerships, public affairs, communications and foundations — frame outreach around the 47th EcoFarm Conference, Asilomar, Pacific Grove, 20–23 January 2027, and its organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming audience. farmfoundation.org

Source diversity

25 independent hosts back the 50 contact rows; LinkedIn supports 18 rows (36%), so no single host backs more than half.

Method: live-web research scan on 2026-10-23 producing 50 named sponsorship prospects (one row per person) at 44 agriculture-related companies, each backed by a contact-source URL and, where found, a sponsorship-evidence URL across 25 independent hosts (LinkedIn 36%). Priority score is a relative triage heuristic combining demonstrated sponsorship signal, role fit and evidence quality — not a funding probability. Titles are reported as found and should be rechecked before outreach; blank emails mean no reliable public work email was found and none was inferred. The scan was directional, not an exhaustive universe of agriculture companies. 'Why this person' text is truncated on the board for space.
