There is an old saying: Poor pay makes poor help. I bet that you have one hell of a time getting any repeat workers. I was making $8-10 dollars an hour in hay thirty years ago. I always tend to pay in the top range of the local market. I have several High school boys that work their butts off for me. One of them a neighbor asked me why I kept him. He said that the kid was not worth hiring. I found out he paid him half of what he told the kid when he hired him. Docked the kid for taking time to get a drink between loads of hay. Funny the neighbor is always getting hay wet and over ripe because he can't get any help to put it in. These boys watch my hay field and as soon as I mow hay they are calling me to see when I want to bale. I keep track and it never costs me more than 15 to 20 cent a bale to get into the barn. I have good equipment and make it as easy as I can. When a bale of good hay is worth $3-5 dollars a bale around here why screw over some high school kid to make a few more dollars.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
