How can you go from surviving to thriving when it comes to your farm’s financials? How do you navigate economic downturns with your current funds while still finding a way to plan for the future? Join us on Friday, January 23 at 12 p.m. EST for our January “Protecting Your Profits” webinar titled “From Surviving to Thriving: Navigating Downturns and Knowing Your Numbers.” Ava Hasbrook, a Business Coach from Legacy Farmer, will share how dairy farmers can evaluate and forecast their long-term stability with their current funds and discuss how to plan for the future now versus later. She will also offer insight into measuring long-term strength, surviving economic downturns, and investing in your farm’s viability 10 years from now.
During the webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Go from “surviving” to “thriving” — and use today’s numbers to build tomorrow’s legacy
- Take your financial pulse (liquidity)
- Measure long-term strength (solvency)
- Survive a downturn with your current funds
- Make investments today that dictate your farm’s viability in 10 years
You can join via conference call, webinar, or podcast format. Your choice! A recording will be shared after the event.

Meet the Speaker:
Ava Hasbrook was born to 4th generation dairy farmers in Central California, where she learned her ABCs on the barn floor, sorting payables by each vendor’s logo. Ava was homeschooled and would hurry to the maternity barn in the mornings before school just to see what new calves were born before rushing through her studies to get back to work outside on the farm. As she got older, she took on more office responsibilities, eventually being charged with verifying milk ticket accuracy and preg-check reports. This is what inspired Ava to go into accounting and finance, so that she could have a larger impact on her family farm.
Ava graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management from Keller Business School of Management, while working full time. After working for an agricultural based CPA firm establishing a strong knowledge in accounting and audit process, Ava moved over to agriculture finance, to have a larger impact with family farms, eventually guiding her to a role in management as a Lead Credit Officer for the Farm Credit System, where she oversaw a team of underwriters for the Association. Today, Ava and her husband of 13 years reside outside of Lubbock, TX, with their children who get to wake up every morning to a handful of beef cows, swine and dogs. Ava’s education, love for agriculture, and strong passion for helping family farms has led her to be a Business Coach for Legacy Farmer, which has given her the opportunity to make the greatest impact she possibly can for those that seek it.
