All those votes for square baling and milking, that's about all I've done for the last half century! I like those jobs, give me small squares over the waste of those big rounds any day. Another dirty job I've always liked is cutting pigs. Here's some unpleasant jobs: 1. Stacking straw from the threshing machine. 2. Poking wires on an old wire-tie baler. 3. Picking (corn) husking by hand. My Dad could always take two rows and make that corn rattle off the bang board and I had a h*ll of a time keeping up. With snow on the corn, you'd be mighty wet and cold by the end of the day. 4. Shoveling off loads of ear corn up over the crib sides. 5. Leveling and Putting the cap on the hay sileage in a stave silo on a 90+ day. 6. Up the silo to chip the frozen corn sileage off the walls in the dead of winter. 7. Shoveling out every door and bunk after a snow. 8. Mounting a 2MH picker on a Super M. 9. Cutting ice for the icehouse off the river. Cold, wet and those ice blocks were heavy as a little runt kid. 10. Cutting stove wood with a bucksaw. Had a lifetime of that by age 14.
