I think it depends on where the kids are coming from, help was not all that easy to find then, going back to the 70's, we did a few thousand, so it was not all that bad, heat, humidity, working in the barns, one was a loft the other a huge hay mow on the left, loft on the right, you drive through the middle, the air did move in that one. I used to stack behind a thrower, or from a chute, to get as much on a wagon as possible. It was popular to compare how may bales each did on their farm, as a kid, that's certainly a scarce conversation, if at all amongst kids today. The farmer I used to help, was able to get some kids for help, going back to '06, and I did help at various times to unload wagons or stack his truck with 200, some loads I was buying anyway, and the one year I put up my own order LOL, cut, ted, rake and baled. I did not mind but when his brother ran the baler, it was like pulling teeth to get him to slow down just a bit to a pace I could stack with, obviously you have to feed the pick up with enough hay and keep pto speed up, but we used to do it and not get hit in the back of the head with bales. Mind you the latter could make you bite your tongue off, really have to be careful when the wagon gets full, was always worth doing not having a lot of wagons like it was when we did our own. At his place you could put 10 wagons under cover, and load them out or stack when you could. I never minded the labor, you just have to push through the heat and dust, where possible place bales and not make more dust plumes, work smart, it does help, take water breaks. I have not done any in awhile, I recall tossing some bales, the lifting and turning, then throwing, I am not totally sure, but I think it is what screwed up my back in late '09, maybe not, hard to say, but that was some pain for a week, was examined, X rayed, no real problems or any since, but one does need to used some care as I could not think of anything else that may have been the cause.
