As a fourth-generation farmer, Meeks brings extensive education, years of industry experience, and hands-on farming knowledge.

Most recently, Meeks worked for Helena Agri-Enterprises in Memphis as the assistant credit manager, helping Helena’s customers find cost-effective funding to purchase their inputs, as well as consulting on many projects for company leadership. He previously worked for Southern States Cooperative as their agriculture finance and marketing specialist and began his career working in politics, helping numerous elected officials with fundraising and campaign strategies.
