Farmer earned his bachelor's and law degrees from the University of Tennessee, then served his country in the Air National Guard in San Antonio, Texas. He practiced law in Memphis with Nelson, Norvell, Wilson, McRae, Ivy and Farmer for a decade. During this period, Farmer served in the Tennessee legislature, first in the House of Representatives and then later in the Senate.
