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.


I got $1.25 an hour during the same time frame. Not sure what that would figure out to per bale. Our gas was 36.9, 35.9 if some station in the big town wanted to draw customers. There was the occasional gas war - remember those?
