At 46 I'm not as seasoned as some of you, but my first job off the home farm was $3.35 for hooking weeds in bean fields. Detasseled corn for 4, baled hay for 5. A couple guys in the area would only pay 4 in the hay field, and I decided that I was worth 5 at least, never bucked a bale for them. Wasn't to good to work, but I wasn't going to let them tight aXXes skin me.
