Sand County Foundation (SCF) is a national nonprofit working at the intersection of agricultural and environmental improvement. We research and demonstrate conservation strategies that make economic sense for landowners, and advance conservation policy improvements.

The person hired for this farmer-facing position will provide technical support—both in the field and at the desk—for SCF’s Agricultural Conservation team’s projects. We manage a diverse project portfolio with efforts supported by both private and public grants, which supports an energizing and dynamic work experience. As SCF prepares for a new, implementation project to kick-off which engages farmers, crop consultants, and conservation professionals in regenerative agriculture discussions, this presents an opportunity to fill the need for more technical assistance. An emphasis of this position includes the advancement of a performance-based conservation approach into watersheds across Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan Basin.
