my boys are working part time on a buddies farm to make some side cash. they all went in together and bought an old tractor and found an old rake and bailer for free that they were able to fix. they did 600+ bales of hay the other day and will get $3/bail for it. going to take a couple harvests to pay for the tractor but they are already talking about something else. corn, etc. i love seeing them do that kind of stuff. work 10 hours at construction and then bail and stack hay until midnight. pretty rare thing for young men around here to do.
Warm's my heart young men thinking that way. Learn how to thread that bailer and don't ever let it run out of string. Threading and working on knotters ain't fun to learn in a hayfield with rain coming and 95 degrees.
