Hauled Hay for several years in HS and College. Two cents a bale - if you got a great gig you could put up 1000 bales in a day which paid $20 and you were livin' large! Usually 500 to 600 a day was more typical. NOTHING EVER has felt better than a shower after bucking bales all day in 100 degree heat and getting hay dust down your back and all over, sticking to the sweat. Finally got a better gig as a lifeguard before my senior year in college.
