Agree, but Federal minimum wage does not apply to farm labor. Overtime regulations do not apply either, if I remember correctly.
When I did farm labor we got paid minimum wage....Must have been a nice farmer.
Nicer than the ones I used to work for. I tell ya, farm work showed me that I wanted to go to college :D

Bucking hay when it is in the 90s is not good times.....No matter what anyone tells you.


I agree. I used to want to take over my grandpa's farm. But then I did real farm labor and decided against it.

I had a DOL guy in my office during an audit a few mths ago tell me about it... and I guess FL doesnt have an agency to govern this.....

That and flattened pheasants.
My brother and I used to be the hay bucking crew. We would always be the first ones called when a field was ready. I probably used to throw a few hundred ton each summer.
