40 years ago I was picking ‘cots at .25 a bucket.
Grapes .15 the lug
Chop cotton (weeds) .10 a row length (helping the winos)
Lemons Ringed: 5.50 a bin (4’x4’x4’)
Run: 4.50 a bin
Melons 25.00 a Flatbed trailer split 6 ways (gotta’ slip a melon to some body)
Mow a lawn .25 trim it out for a dime more.
