It looks like Jeff Caldwell has the “right stuff” for Meredith.

Jeff Caldwell was recently named new Agriculture Online News and Features Editor for Meredith Corporation’s Successful Farming magazine. Caldwell, who grew up on a western Kansas farm, is a 2001 graduate of Kansas State University, with a BA in journalism/English. After graduation, he worked as associate editor for the High Plains Journal, and then in July 2004 moved to Des Moines to serve as field editor for the High Plains Journal/Midwest Ag Journal, as well as editor, author and designer of the company’s e-mail newsletter.

“Jeff is one of the real rising stars in agricultural journalism. He has the ‘right stuff’ to cover agriculture for the benefit of farmers and ranchers,” said Agriculture Online Editor John Walter. “He will be a great addition to the Agriculture Online and Successful Farming team.”
