Ten cents a bale between 3 of us, stacked in the barn. Glad to get it in 1969-70, had money to take girls out. 5 bucks would buy her dinner, pay to go to show, gas for truck back then. If you were lucky, you would get lucky! Gas was 20.9 a gallon in 69.


I’m not a 100% sure on the ten cents a bale, that a 100 bill for a thousand bales. That was over 50 years ago.


Hell,I got to eat all the corn on the cob I wanted, all the fresh sweet cream on berries, and a dip in the farm pond when done. I don't recollect getting any money out of it.


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
