Winter doesn't get the Steckle family down on
their Zurich -area farm. They're surrounded by
green plants and blooms all year 'round in their
greenhouse operation. They've been in the
business for 26
years and now
their operation
supports two
generations as
well as a number
of employees. It
hasn't always
been roses, but
they like the
lifestyle their
flower business
provides.

Every pork farmer knows that a sow or a weaner is, it's just
that each one may have a slightly different definition. A
speaker at the Centralia Swine Research Update is part of a
U.S. Task Force to try to come up with common definitions.
