I remember my dad "hiring us out". We would get hauled to a field with a cooler and water jug and get dropped off to detassle corn or cut cane out of the hybred corn fields. Some times he would work with us and other times he dropped us off and picked us up at the end of the day while he worked his own fields. He kept all the money on these deals as money is *&^% tight when you have 12 kids.

As I grew older the farm grew many times in size and we didn't do jobs like that too often. We did however occassionally hire out as a crew to put up hay (imagine 8 boys all over 6' tall showing up and taking over) or get hired as a unit for construction or demolition in the winter. I was 17 before I ever got to keep a dime of my wages.

Now they say that kind of labor isn't fit for illegal aliens.
