Baden farmer inducted into agricultural hall of fame
A Baden farmer's innovation and conservation efforts have earned him a spot in the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame.
Wilf Schneller, who lived from 1902 to 1987, is one of five industry leaders being inducted into the hall for 2019 for demonstrating visionary leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship in the advancement of agriculture in Ontario.
Schneller was keen to learn and test new practices on Spruce Grove Farm, inspiring other famers to adopt new technology and management solutions.
He also implemented new soil and water conservation methods on his farm to inhibit soil erosion. Schneller showed others how to implement these practices through farm tours, demonstration plots and presentations.
Schneller became president of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association in 1954 and in 1959 was made an honorary member of the Soil Conservation Society of America.
He planted more than 56 varieties of trees on his farm and helped to develop an arboretum near New Hamburg, which opened in 1964.
