Never detassled corn, however, I have hauled a bunch of hay. And at a nickle a bail, 1500 bales (the square little ones, not the big round ones)a day made you 75 bucks a day, tax free. Plus you usually got two good meals out of it. You worked your ass off. Fight 125 degree heat in a barn loft filled with wasps sometime.
If I wanted to kill myself with a heat stroke I go find me an old fashioned hay crew. Chip2447, a bonafide midwesterner, waving at you from the heart of central Missouri...
