S6 - Ep#1 - Rick Clark, a large-scale Midwestern regenerative organic farmer from Indiana, shares his story of transition away from conventional commodity agriculture to the center of the film Common Ground

A 5th generation commodity crop farmer from Indiana, the Heartland of America, Rick Clark had an awakening during a one-inch rain event in 2007 that washed topsoil from his fields. That moment spawned a ten-year journey during which Rick created rich healthy soil that captures carbon and holds water, diversified his crops and increased his profits. This success placed him at the center of the film Common Ground. As the film says, Rick “cracked the code” of large-scale regenerative farming.
