In Steve Thul’s 54 years on the farm, some things have changed a little. Other things have changed a lot.
All the while, Steve has remained true to the ideals expressed by his father on their family farm two miles east of Bode.
Steve and Lisa Thul (pronounced Tool) were honored at the Iowa Pork Producers Association banquet last January with the Iowa Master Pork Producers Award for 2022.
The Thuls live on the home acreage where Steve grew up, 2026 130th St. (County Road C-20) in Delana Township. Lisa grew up in nearby Ottosen.
