Back in the 60s and 70s, when everything was put into square bales, we had 70 dairy cows that needed to be fed every day and all of our baling was put into square bales. My family didn't need to hire help because there were three boys in the family, plus my dad. But I had an aunt who lived alone on a farm and she would hire local boys to help with her alfalfa. She would bale them herself, but several neighbor boys, including myself, would stack the bales on a trailer and them throw them on a bale elevator and stack them in her bale shed. I'm going to say that the problem of finding help today is not because the local boys don't want to work, it's because there just aren't as many family farms around in the area anymore. A few of the local houses where the families have lived are boarded up and deserted. Where there used to be at least 4-5 families per square mile, now we are lucky to have one. Some of the local boys are still hired to cut thistles or shattercane, my youngest boy included.
