Load imposed on the machine shed footing is displaced at a 45 deg angle, so every 2 feet you drop 1 foot if I am correct. Some of the basics regarding adjacent footings at different elevations and in close proximity call for the existing foundation to be underpinned to the same depth as the proposed or new footing elevation adjacent. Depending on the material in that 10'-0" span, thats what retains the undisturbed material under the footing.
If this is a feed lot, won't you be in there with loader or something ?, the edge of that earthen slope could be compromised, eroded, etc. Seems like a sharp angle of repose. A retaining wall would back up the existing fill if you need that area to remain as is, or you could underpin, the wall would be easier, but keep in mind the existing footing displacing a load outward at a 45 deg angle could perhaps transfer to a retaining wall, so that would be best done right, tied back or whatever works best to make sure it takes whatever could be imposed on it.
Sounds a bit close, good idea to be careful about considering a design.
