Tossed hay one summer in south GA. Just once.
FARMERS WORK HARD EVERY SINGLE DAY
To Basalt,
Every summer from the 8th to 10th grade I was sent by bus from Arizona to Iowa to work on the farm(s) as a hired hand. I bailed hay, hauled manure and de-tasseled seed corn among other interesting jobs.
That convinced me to study engineering.
