Margy Eckelkamp has been named leader of the Farm Journal’s Top Producer brand. Eckelkamp brings 17 years of creating best-in-class content for farmers and agriculture retail professionals to this new role, which includes continuing to serve as editor of The Scoop. This new role will include directing editorial content for Top Producer in print and online and developing the program for our top-tier event, Top Producer Summit, the industry’s leading educational event for large-scale farmers and ranchers.

“I look forward to stewarding this outstanding brand as it serves the key audience in agriculture — owners and managers of leading agricultural operations and the trusted advisers who guide them,” Eckelkamp said. “Top Producer is the leader in profiling the most creative, ingenious and successful farmers, ranchers and growers. As technology transforms what’s possible, consumer demands change and the global ag markets are ever more dynamic, we will elevate the service Top Producer provides to the business side of farming while remaining committed to the strong foundation of the magazine, events and brand.”
