Hey, everyone, welcome back to your favorite podcast.

I'm Mitchell Hora, farmer from Iowa and I'm

Zach Johnson I farm in Minnesota as you know this is fieldwork the podcast by farmers

for farmers today on field work we're going to talk about the benefits and challenges

of sustainable agriculture which is something we talk about and hold dearly

to us here in the fieldwork studio. Today we're hearing from Indiana farmer Rick Clark. I actually

visited Rick on his farm because he's a little unusual. He's doing both regenerative and

organic at scale. And Zach, I thought this was really awesome. We spent

hours at Rick's farm and I could have spent days there. What he's doing is really amazing that

he is kind of hitting on pretty much all of the topics that we've talked about on the fieldwork podcast that he is using

complete no-till but he is he's organic and regenerative together okay so no-till cover crops

no pesticides or basically no pesticides across his whole farm no no synthetic fertilizers, but his yields are

incredible. And the biggest thing, he's doing this on 7,000 acres.

Oh, that's crazy to see somebody doing that at that kind of a scale. So should be an interesting

conversation here. We also did a video of this

interview that I had with Rick and we're using this fancy device called YouTube. Zach, you should

Google that sometime. Y-O-U-T-U-B-E YouTube. It's a place you can have videos and yeah, we put a

video up there about my visit with Rick.

I'm going to have to check into that. So is this on, is this like, do I need an Atari?

Yeah, yeah. No, actually they have internet on computers now. So you can go on there and you can find it.
