Episode #77: Rick Clark
Rick Clark is a fifth-generation farmer from Warren County, Indiana. Driven by a desire to work alongside mother nature, Rick has been implementing regenerative practices on his farm for almost a decade. Rick's commitment to soil health has allowed him to grow his operation to 7000 organic, no-till acres, in part by employing a variety of cover cropping and weed control techniques.
In their conversation, Rick and John Kempf discuss:
- Rick's journey to a fully organic operation
- Conventional agriculture's "dependency on chemistry" and the best practices for conventional burn down
- Rick's humbling experiences experimenting with cover crops in the early days
- How planting multiple cash crops together could be the future of agriculture
- Handling foxtail and other difficult weeds through regenerative practices
- The power of diversity and rotation in a no-tillage system
- Rick's take on farm economics and how he is saving almost $1.7 million a year in inputs
