Curt Hadley
Business Development Director, FieldWatch Inc.
Curt Hadley joined FieldWatch as Business Development Manager in January 2021 and became Business Development Director in early 2023. Curt maintains FieldWatch’s registries and implements marketing and development strategies to enhance support from our diverse agricultural stakeholders. He also maintains relationships with current users and prospective members of FieldWatch’s registries and works to strengthen relationships with the Certified Organic certifying agencies through outreach and education. Curt has presented the registries and their use, need and effectiveness from Canada to Florida and from Idaho to Massachusetts and nearly every state between.
Curt has always been involved in agriculture and is excited to return to his roots in the industry. Growing up on his family’s farm, in Allen County, Indiana, he was actively involved on the farm, in FFA and 4H organizations. He has more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing, operations, sales and nonprofit work, including corporate relations with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Purdue Research Foundation.
“I am excited to grow FieldWatch as it may be just over 10 years old, but it still feels like a grass-roots effort to promote a critical need in agriculture to protect vital crops and resources,” said Curt. “Given the state of our country, economy and food supply, right now is a crucial time to ensure better stewardship among producers, beekeepers and applicators to minimize possible damages and loss in order to maximize our food supply.”
