Pitts farm receives century farm honor

Dusty

Kim and Cindy Pitts have received the Whitman County Century Farm certificate from the county commissioners. Their farm was bought in 1915 by Kim's great-grandfather, John Stueckle. It was acquired by Kim's grandparents J.A. and Rosa Stueckle in 1919 and passed on to Kim and his brothers Jon, Steve and Jeff Pitts in 1993. In 2015, Kim and Cindy Pitts acquired sole ownership. Whitman County farms which have been owned and operated by the same family for 100 years qualify for recognition as a century farm.
