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.
