When the picking is scarce, as in, there aren’t kids lined up at the door even at $12 an hour - and you have only a day or two window of good weather to bail and pick-up before your bails get rained on in the field - you takes what you can gets.

I do sympathize with you. I've been through the "my girlfriend" routine too many times to count.
