In my 20s, I crossed into Canada and worked one summer as a field hand. First, I worked on a stooker (an old piece of farm equipment that let you stack bales of hay into pyramids). You grab them emerging from the combine and put them on tines. When you had 6 bales in a stack, you would release them.) Then in the fall on a sheep ranch. There wasn't much to do at that time of year except mend fences.
