gold-leaf-deere...50 cents an hour in 1946? That was BIG money. My first paying farm job was about 1960, and I earned 75 cents an hour putting away hay bales in the mow with a 62-year old hired hand named Andrew. Next summer, the farmer raised my pay to $1.00. Next, $1.25. It must have been 95 degrees up there, full of hay dust and scratchy. I had scratches all over my wrists for a couple of weeks until I hardened up.
