The event, Growing Climate Smart Agriculture in Northeast Wisconsin, will feature a meet and greet with Wisconsin Farmers Union, a presentation about climate-smart agriculture and the new Farm Climate Smart WI project, and a Q&A session. This event is free, family friendly, and open to the public. The event is especially relevant for small, mid-sized, beginning, veteran, women, and BIPOC farmers; conservation professionals; and interested community members in NE WI. Register at wisconsinfarmersunion.com/fsc-wi-events. Farm Climate Smart WI is a project of the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance in partnership with Wisconsin Farmers Union, Pheasants Forever, Outagamie County, and Utah State University, and is made possible through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program. The project is empowering Northeast Wisconsin farmers to implement climate-smart agriculture practices. The project supports farmers by connecting them to innovative tools, knowledge, and resources that help them to remain resilient in the face of climate and market changes. 

Wisconsin Farmers Union (WFU) is a partner in Farm Climate Smart WI, a new collaborative project with the goal of empowering Northeast Wisconsin farmers to implement climate-smart agriculture practices. WFU is set to host an educational event about this new project at the Oshkosh Food Co-Op on March 25, 2024 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.

Construction on the Nsight Telservices Town of Pittsfield fiber-to-the-premise project will start on Wednesday February 14^th, 2024.  The project will be deployed in two phases over the 2024 and 2025 construction seasons.  Contractor QOS will begin construction along the following residential streets during week one:  

Annabell Circle, Maple Drive, Meadow Drive, Riverlane Drive, and Uphill Drive.  

Weather permitting, they will start working along River Forest Circle and Forest Hills Drive during week two.

Nsight Telservices will provide monthly updates regarding additional construction locations to the Town Board as the project progresses.

The construction phase will include underground digging. Here’s what residents can expect if underground construction occurs in their neighborhood.

• Contractors will locate existing public utilities. This will include paint and flags within the right-of-way on yards. If you have underground facilities such as dog fencing, sprinkler systems or private wiring, please notify our teams at 800-826-5215.
• Construction will continue in the right-of-way, which could include construction equipment, underground drilling or digging on these areas of your property. Specific impact will vary by address.
• Crews will return later in the spring (once the chance for deep freezing weather passes for the season) to remedy any impact in the right-of-way.

This project is being supported in part through $123,628 of funds from the State of Wisconsin, acting by and through the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin.  Nsight Telservices looks forward to working with Town of Pittsfield and PSCW over the coming years to bring the latest broadband technology to the community.
