I remember getting $20 a day as a teenager doing that. 3 or 4 weeks work paid for scout camp for the summer, and had some mad money for books, dates, and gas for my parent's car when I borrowed it.We hire crews of teenage young men to stack the bales on trucks and trailers. The bales go from the field to the barn where again the crews of high school guys, under direction of my wife, stack the hay in the barn.
It is labor intensive, but we can pay a lot of help for the cost of a round baler and retrofitting the feeding troughs in the barn.
