Baling hay (old way). Only actual "income" for many teen farm kids. Hard work but a chance to learn how to interact with others and even meet other farm girls that didn't go to your school. Learned how to correctly stack bales for larger load along with tractor driving skills and how hard farmers wives worked to make sure all were fed and watered. We all learned a ton and didn't even know it at the time but are better people for it. Laws first and then technology pretty much ended it all. Us 4 boys were "rented out" to various farmers all summer and when Dad needed hay baled he needed no baler or wagons or elevator. That's how things were done then. Usually when all done with a certain farm, we all got taken to some local lake for swimming and fun. Specially if they had good lookin' daughters! We also found out that girls loved tans and muscles and there's nothing more attractive than a farm girl on the wagon with you in ragged jeans and ponytail/ball cap and no makeup laughing ,joking and having good ole time. Bennefits far outweighed the hard work/sweat. So yew my addition is "baling hay" !
