Randy Meinke
VP Lending – Agribusiness

Meet Randy

I grew up in the South Texas coastal town of Victoria, where much of my time was spent in athletics, saltwater fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities. I attended Baylor University and graduated with degrees in Finance and Financial Services & Planning with a minor in Accounting. I started my banking career as a credit analyst trainee in Waco with AgTrust Farm Credit in 2010, where I was involved in all aspects of credit underwriting for Originated and Capital Markets/Participation lending activities. I relocated to AgTrust’s corporate headquarters in Fort Worth in 2017, where I worked in a cross-functional role between credit and accounting/finance for two years in order to earn a CPA license. Upon completion, I transitioned back to Credit where I served in a dual role managing the Capital Markets/Participation loan portfolio on both the buy and sell sides as well as originating Agribusiness loans. In 2023, I transitioned solely to the origination side of Lending where I am responsible for managing and growing the Agribusiness loan portfolio.

Through my journey, I have gained a deep, comprehensive understanding of credit, participation/syndication lending, accounting, and finance that offers value for the credit needs of unique, large, and complex commercial transactions. I am very proud to say I have worked at AgTrust Farm Credit my entire professional career and am passionate about carrying out our mission for our customer-owners.

I am beyond blessed with a wife and son. I have been a Certified Public Accountant since 2018. My memberships include, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Fort Worth Chapter of the Texas Society of CPAs, and the Farm Credit Council’s Rural Investment and Innovation Workgroup.  I have also served on the board as the treasurer for a local non-profit organization. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, sports, golf, and being outside.
