Green Cover Podcast

What’s the real secret to regenerative success? In this episode, Indiana farmer Rick Clark shares how he's building organic systems at scale — without tillage, without inputs, and without regret. But the real magic? It’s not just about species diversity, it’s about plant family diversity. Rick walks us through how rethinking his cover crop mixes — moving beyond rye and radish — transformed his soil, his mindset, and his mission. From the moment a one-inch rain exposed the damage of tillage to the spiritual and ecological awakening that followed, Rick’s story is one of humility, experimentation, and deep commitment to human and soil health.

Whether you're just starting with cover crops or building your tenth cocktail mix, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to see diversity — and your farm — in a whole new way.
