Show Notes
In this episode, we meet DJ Meades (33) from Petrusburg, a farmer who believes that training his employees also makes him stronger.
With 12 years of farming experience, he manages two enterprises, grows vegetables, and proudly runs a pecan tree nursery he established himself.
DJ shares how he has adapted management practices to increase profitability, expanded irrigation, and modified equipment to improve efficiency and time management.
Beyond the farm, he plays an active role in his community as a member of the Perdeberg Farmers’ Association and by supporting local safety patrols and road maintenance.
