Gee when I milked for the Neighbors in 1977 I only got $2.00/hr, and some folks only paid $1.70/hr for hay work. I was stationed in Greece in 88-89.

She said any money she or her parents had in the bank were held in German Marks, US Dollars or Japanese Yen. When I was a kid my dad drove for UPS take home wages for a teamster then was only about $80 a week, heck they get that in a day now.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
