HISTORY The Oasis is a 34-acre family homestead that has been in the family four generations. It was purchased by the Schierman family in 1916 who were wheat and barley famers in the age of horse-drawn farming. The Schierman family farmed 550 acres of their own land and up to 1750 acres total in the beginning of the new century. Grandpa had the pond dug while Tom was in college with a huge clamshell draught. Tom planted thousands of trees when he moved home from college to farm. James and Jon are continuing the legacy of landscaping.
