Basin Equipment

Many of the counties throughout the Basin have partnered with local organizations to acquire equipment for regenerative agriculture. Brown, Green Lake, Outagamie, and Waupaca counties all house equipment. Contact county conservation/agronomy staff to learn more about equipment availability and rental.

Outagamie County has partnered with the Oneida Nation to build the S.H.E.D., Soil Health Education & Demo Facility. The S.H.E.D. houses a large portion of the Basin’s equipment. This includes a roller-crimper, interseeders, a small tractor, and more. The County also has demo plots set up at the facility to test various cover crop applications. Schedule a tour with Alex and Andy to get to know the equipment and see what cover crop experiments they have going on.

Low Disturbance Manure Application

Within the Basin, low-disturbance manure has been highlighted as an important step in improving water quality. In the Lower Fox River Basin, farms have been practicing low-disturbance manure application for a couple of years now thanks to the Lower Fox River Demo Farms, Brown and Outagamie Counties.
