The ponds contain a large population of blue gill and large mouth bass.

Two weather stations at the farm have been upgraded as part of an effort to install a high-resolution environmental monitoring network at the farm. Weather information can be obtained online from two extreme habitats to monitor solar radiation, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and more.
