It will be just another soybean field this year, but a 12-acre field near Cameron is on track to become a demonstration farm for the latest in agricultural practices.Â
The property, located behind Wenger Distributing just south of the Rice Lake Airport along 19th Street, is owned by Barron County and was rented out to a local farmer at a modest rate, netting the county about $900 a year.Â
When that farmer decided to discontinue renting the land, officials in the Soil & Water Conservation Department hatched a plan that went far beyond just finding another renter.Â
âA demonstration farm would allow different techniques in soil health improvement to be tried and shown, without the financial risk to a farmer,â said Tyler Gruetzmacher, Barron County Conservationist. âThis is an opportunity for Barron County to work with the entire agriculture community, versus renting the land to one farmer.â

FORESTVILLE - Nearly a year and a half into the drawdown of the Forestville Millpond, residents frustrations since last summer have not been lessened.
The drawdown started November 2019 as a way to improve water quality, reduce the invasive carp population and encourage native plant diversity, according to a Door County Facilities and Parks Department fact sheet on the county website.
The county opened the gate at the Forestville dam on the Ahnapee River to lower the water level by no more than three inches a day. This would allow the sediment at the bottom composed of solid materials like rocks, minerals and plants to encrust and compact, which would also improve the pond s depth.
