Are you curious about how cover crops pay?
Join us for Part 1, as Indiana farmer, Rick Clark shares at our Economics of Soil Health & Cover Crops Workshop in Stewartville, MN.
During this presentation Rick talks about how and why he's planting 100% green, and how to make Soil Health pay whether you farm conventionally, organically, or regeneratively. This video shows the type of equipment, thinking, and tools that Rick and his family utilize to farm with the soil health principles in their context. Rick also explains how and why he is roller crimping his soybeans at V2 into full anthesis cereal rye.

Rick Clark is a 5th generation farmer from Williamsport, Indiana. He and his family manages 7,000 acres at Clark Land & Cattle Company. The Clark family is farming regeneratively by applying the soil health principles to their farm, using living cover crops to increase carbon levels in their soils and choosing to think very differently about farming. Rick has been planting no-till for over 30 years and planting cover crops for 10 years. He also plants most of his cash crops "green", is inner seeding, row mowing and also converting his cropland to organic.

Lastly, Rick loves crunching financials, is data driven, and holds an Ag Economics masters degree from Purdue.
Come along as we find out why and how Rick is quite profitable and regenerative on his farm.
