I know I got a nickel a bale when I hauled hay as a teenager. The payoff was when I went through boot camp in the army a few years later….push ups, sit ups and running miles at a time was easy for a young man from the hayfields.  Same here WEB. Best part of finishing the job was taking a dip in the closest stock tank to get the chaff off before going home.

I much prefer the big round bail method for hauling hay than the way we did it when I was much younger. Hauled a bunch of the small bails in the 70s

Best part of finishing the job was taking a dip in the closest stock tank to get the chaff off before going home. when I was a teenager, I loaded hay for my grandfather. our payoff at the end of the day was cash and an ice cold Pearl beer from the bottom of an old metal Coleman cooler! I don't know if it was because we got beer from an adult as teens, or it was just cold and refreshing. But, no beer has ever tasted quite as good since!

We used to get a beer out of a keg inside an old International Harvester fridge in the barn. Tap was on the side. Never had a beer taste better than those.
