Farmers everywhere are asking the same question: Can regenerative farming actually work at scale?
In this powerful conversation, regenerative farmer Rick Clark shares how he transformed his 7,000-acre farm in Indiana by rebuilding soil biology, reducing inputs, and letting nature do the work.
What started as a response to soil erosion became a complete shift in how his farm operates — including eliminating synthetic fertilizer, reducing chemical inputs, and using cover crops to cycle nutrients naturally.
The result?
A farming system that restores soil health, reduces costs, and produces profitable crops.
This conversation dives deep into the real strategies farmers can use in their fields today.
