Soil Health Equipment & Demonstration Facility (SHED)

Outagamie County with support from Brown County, Oneida Nation and NEW Water, has established a Soil Health Equipment and Demonstration Facility (S.H.E.D). This 25 acre facility will showcase innovative equipment and cropping practices as well as serve as a hub for storing soil health equipment and hosting grower meetings. The hands on facility will allow growers to see how soil health practices can work in this area and

what strategies may work on their farm.

This year, conservation staff started by no-tilling corn into oat stubble. The corn fields are set up for a variety of trials in 60 foot stretches. Fox Demo Farms held a live Facebook event from the S.H.E.D. on Aug 5.
