With plenty of work still to do, Peninsula Pride Farms hope a partnership with Houston Engineering shows off the progress its members have made in soil and water conservation over the last several years. Nathaniel Baeumler will present the work performed by the Fargo, N.D.- based civil engineering firm to create maps looking at the impact its conservation strategies has had on the watershed. Peninsula Pride Farms President Don Niles says it is the first time farmers and other residents can see what the joint effort has done for the entire region rather than on a farm-by-farm basis.
Shawn Wesener from Farmers for Sustainable Food, Mark Witecha from Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection, and Dr. Lee Briese from Centrol Crop Consulting will all speak at the event scheduled for February 14th at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Exposition Hall beginning at 10 a.m.
