I can now easily analyze the profitability of each of my crops and see what is working, what isn’t and confidently make informed decisions to grow a successful business."

Meet Julia
I'm Julia Shanks, author of The Farmer's Office.

Since 2008, I’ve worked with hundreds (if not thousands) of farmers to strengthen their numbers and make confident, data-driven decisions.

With an MBA in Entrepreneurship, three businesses launched, and years recognized as the go-to expert in farm finances, I know what it’s like to wrestle with pricing — especially when you care deeply about your customers. I faced it myself running a catering business.
