one thing to keep in mind.. according OKLAHOMA law,if a person works most or all of the time without any or very little supervision,he can be a contract worker.many times this is advantageous to both parties as far as taxes ,ss, unemployment etc goes. if a person works only when you are present or under supervision,he CANNOT be a contract employee,and you are liable for all the typical withholdings and things. in other words,if you just tell this fellow to go fix fence or whatever and he does it hes basically a contract employee hired for that job.if you take him to build that fence,and work with him, he is a direct employee. farm work is comeing under more and more scrutiny these days,if you hire someone as a direct employee your responsible for training him,liable if he messes up, etc etc.if hes a contract employee he basicaly should have that knowledge,since hes contracting to do a job for you.farm workers can be a blessing or a real terror!! i strongly urge you to talk to your tax man ,and maybe even a lawyer who deals with this. work out whats best for you both,,, you can increase his take home pay often times,and lighten his tax load ,simply by carrying him the proper way on your books...hope this helps, it doesnt answer your question,but if you carry him as a contract employee on your books he can often take home a lot of his pay as untaxable perdeum pay, or living expenses,he can write off a lot of stuff also such as fuel he buys,clothes, food,simply because like yourself hes self employed. often times you can give him a substantial raise and still make money at the end of the year,simply because work he does as a CONTRACTOR is a farm input also..it sounds fishy,but its really not.its perfectly legal..

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
