Under The Covers

business · EN-US

Under the Covers is a farmer-led agriculture podcast hosted by Bill Frederick and James Holz, Iowa farmers and founders of Iowa Cover Crop. Each episode is recorded during a game of cribbage. When the game ends, the episode ends. We’re working Midwest farmers who built an independent seed business rooted in practical farming and sustainable agriculture. The unfiltered conversations we’ve had for years, in the seed shed, at the farm gate, and over a few pond beers, are now on the record. This show is about modern agriculture, the real decisions, tradeoffs, and debates shaping farming today. We talk about: Midwest farming and row crop agriculture Regenerative agriculture and soil health Cover crops Water quality and land stewardship Small grains, forages, alfalfa, turf, and native seeding Cattle, grazing systems, and pasture management Farm profitability and business strategy Rural economics and agricultural policy Some episodes are light.
