I worked in the fields as a kid...and have fond memories of it.

It'll make a man out of you, kid!

***I worked in the fields as a kid...and have fond memories of it.***

I did too and I don’t have fond memories of it! 105 degrees, 85% humidity, picking green beans for a penny a pound. Made $5.00 one day!

Three weeks later it was dry, the beans were light and we got a penny a pound. Picked the same amount of beans and got $2.80 a day.

No sir! No fond memories! My brother passed out in the field one day it was so hot!
