I agree.
Back in 1975, I was working making hay for $3 an hour...adjusted for inflation [see my post above for inflation calculator], that would be around $9.65 an hour today. So by offering $5 an hour, you're telling your help that you really don't appreciate them.
I was at a rally about a year ago where Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, AZ was the speaker. When one of the guests spoke during the question-and-answer session at the end and said that "white people won't work," Sheriff Joe took exception.

But there's a new "rural" subdivision where Bob's farm used to be, so those days are gone for me.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
