linc: No snow. This was during the summer and fall mostly. Springtime was mostly clean-up and they used the women for that stuff. They saved the grunt labor for the guy. So much for equal rights, eh? BTW: That did sound like one of those old-timer when-I-was-a-kid stories: "I walked 15 miles to school barefoot in the snow uphill both ways". lol.

Metal: I don't know if things changed now, but back then agricultural jobs were exempt from the min wage, and I was a minor. I should have joined a union, lol. This was really the only job that I could get at 12 yrs old available anywhere near me, as I lived in the country. There was a couple of conv stores, but you had to be at least 16 just to be a cashier.
