Market ready Slaughter Sharon Bare (Continued from Page 68] doing all the flowers for a wedding this Fall, she says she really likes the growing part of greenhouse work the best. “I’d sooner get myself dirty,” she says with a grin. “And, I’d sooner be outside.” She proves these points at home by doing field work such as discing, baling, and working in the bam. “I don’t mind it a bit having to clean the bam, but if I have to clean the house - that’s a different story,” states the little brownette.
