Thanks for the reply. You're lucky to have the willing local labor. The going "day labor" wage around here is in that range. Good, responsible agricultural full time, year round workers here are paid quite a bit more than that.
Stacking hay builds good muscles for football. :-)
When I’m lucky I get some of the local Amish guys to bale and stack hay.Those Amish teens are no strangers to hard work and really do a good job.
