Room and board was alive and well into the 70's in some areas. Then it gets political. The farmers were offering room and board and or a house with gas and utilities paid for married folks. They were often paid below minimum wage but with R&B they actually made out OK. Then the government decided that even though the farm hand was being compensated that the farmer had to pay minimum wage. That cause a lot of the small farmers to quit because they no longer could afford to give both R&B plus wages. That change also sped up farmers going over to round bales. The government thought they were not getting all the tax money they should.
