Allan,
Now my take on some of the nastiest jobs, baling hay was not bad, build strong back weak minds. haha. One of the worst things I have ever been involved in was cutting weeds out of beans walking 1/4-1/2 mile bean rows up and down, start at 7:00, beans were wet as, well were wet. After you do that for a few hours, you were be hot, pants muddy from rubbing the beans, you get all chaffed in the crotch, burn like the dickens. you go home for dinner, wash, put powder and clean jeans on and back at it again. Give me a baler and bale wagon any day over that. Then to top it all off, I worked with my uncle, he was an old timer, long legged, fast gate, and I was 10-11 years old and my chubby little legs had a hard time keeping up with him, and he didn't allow no stragglers. then you had the usuall run of the mills things, shredding stacks, running a rotary hoe, cultivating corn or beans, talk about boring work, scooping grain out of a grain bin with an aluminum scoop, had to move 150 bushel of soybeans for a guy one time from one wagon to another becaue he put it the wrong wagon, the one without an end gate to unload, spreading limestone on a windy day, that was a dirty job, but then again anything on an open platform tractor or a truck with windows down to get air was not clean. Man that was a lot of work, but bring me back the good old days, I really miss them times and I ain't that old yet either.
