Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sarah Beth Aubrey is a sought-after advisor and executive coach for global agriculture brands. She has written six books, writes a monthly magazine column for major ag media, and runs custom peer group programs for businesses looking to partner with their most valuable customers in a unique way.

Her mission is to enhance success and profitability in rural communities by building capacity in its people, and each of her books speaks to her lifelong experience in ag and farming from generations before her, her college degrees, and as a successful three-time entrepreneur.

Aubrey’s four non-fiction agricultural books address some of the common difficulties faced by current and future farmers: Find Grant Funding Now, The Profitable Hobby Farm, Starting and Running Your Own Small Farm Business, and the most recent publication, Who's Running Your Farm Next?: 5 Steps to Develop and Coach Your Next Generation.

Her two-book romance fiction series, Championship Drive, centers on livestock showing and the challenging dynamics of inheriting a family-run farm.

Sarah Beth Aubrey and her husband raise cattle on their farm in Central Indiana.

It’s a great little book! I’m not finished but I’m enjoying it! Some of it is info, and some stories (nonfictional). I’m happy with it.
