Not a paying job,but would say bailing hay growing up.

Actualy enjoyed doing the other chores..............walking beans, shelling corn in cribs, mowing lawn, tractor work in fields, feeding livestock.

Soybeans................you walk in the middle of a row with two rows of beans on each side of you, either with a hoe or corn knife, you eliminate all the weeds in your 4-row section...............thus if in four person group, cover 16 rows down and 16 back.

80% of the time, used a corn knife.

Depending on the farm, one full round up and back would be half a mile or a full mile.

Some, actually many days, walked 6+ miles WALKING BEANS

What a typical corn knife resembles...........

A hoe is best if you don't have many big weeds/corn stalks, we had lots of those, so a corn knife way better ...........

That field in the pic looks clean as shit, and a breeze to walk.

One hilarious story here recently

A group of HS kids was paid to de-tassle corn, while they were out in the field, a fuckin Crop duster sprayed them from above LOL

 

About 25 people were hit by drifting fungicide Wednesday while a crop duster sprayed a neighboring field.

 

The group, primarily teens, were detasseling corn on a field owned by Hubner Industries, said Roger Vail, safety manager for the seed production company.

 

About 50 people were working, but only about half were affected by the drift, according to Neal Wood, the subcontractor who manages the workers.

WILLIAMSPORT —About 25 people were hit by drifting fungicide Wednesday while a crop duster sprayed a neighboring field.

The group, primarily teens, were detasseling corn on a field owned by Hubner Industries, said Roger Vail, safety manager for the seed production company.

About 50 people were working, but only about half were affected by the drift, according to Neal Wood, the subcontractor who manages the workers.

The affected detasselers were transported in a school bus to St. Vincent Williamsport Hospital, where they were treated outside by a hazardous materials team from the Tippecanoe County Emergency Management Agency and hospital staff. Crews from Warren County Emergency Management and the Williamsport Fire Department also responded to the call.

Five people were admitted to the emergency room for treatment while others were treated in the decontamination area, according to Tudie Kuiper, a spokeswoman for the hospital.

Some teens reported symptoms, including throat, eye and skin irritation, according to hospital staff.

"(But) their symptoms were starting to dissipate already," said Dr. Hector Torres, an emergency physician with St. Vincent.

Torres said workers were exposed to Quilt Xcel, a chemical compound that protects crops from fungal diseases. Affected workers were treated with a three-stage flushing process, according to Jane Craigin, hospital CEO.

Each person affected by the fungicide drift has been released, according to Kuiper.

It is unclear why the detasselers were hit with the drift. Staff from Hubner Industries and Tippecanoe County Emergency Management said they did not have information on the owners of the neighboring field nor the crop dusting company.

Pilots typically fly over fields before they begin crop dusting to see if anyone is in the area, Vail said.

 

"We had a school bus and a lot of kids at our field, and they went ahead and sprayed," he said.

 

Wood was about 3 miles away when the spraying began.

 

"When I got there, the guy was still trying to spray the field," he said.

 

Emily Anderson, 14, was one of the detasselers hit by the drift. The youths waved at the plane to stop, she said.

 

"They saw us," she said. "(But) they wouldn't stop."

Anderson said her face was burning and her lips were numb before she was decontaminated, but she is no longer experiencing symptoms.

 

Her father, Dave Anderson of rural Attica, said his son, Wyatt, 13, also was hit by the fungicide drift.

 

"I'm absolutely furious," he told the Journal & Courier by phone. "In 20 years, what's the effect?"

 

Although both of his children were treated and released from St. Vincent, Anderson was not sure he would allow them to return to their detasseling work on the field owned by Hubner Industries.

"They are working and making money, but then again, am I an idiot for putting them back in the same potential situation?" he said.

 

Some reports of the details of the incident conflict.

 

Parents have reported on social media that planes flew directly over the field in which the detasselers were working. Wood said the pilot would have flown over the field as part of the dusting, but the plane was not spraying the Hubner field.

Greg Smith, general manager of Hubner Industries, said he was not there to witness the spray, but he confirmed the plane was not hired to spray his company's field.

Avery Oltman, 14, was leading a crew of detasselers when she heard planes flying so close overhead that the noise was as loud as a bulldozer, she said.

"The plane flew right over us, and I noticed that it was spraying something from the back of it. And I was freaking out, because I didn't know if I was going to die," Oltman said.

Immediately after the first dusting, Oltman remembers a second plane flying over and spraying the workers.

"It smelled like lemon — like lemon mixed with bleach," she said.

Wood said that two planes were flying in the area, but only one was spraying close enough to dust the detasselers with fungicide. Smith said he could not confirm the number of planes dusting because he was not on the scene.

After Oltman's co-workers fled the field, they packed onto the school bus that brought them out, she said.

The detasselers were split into two groups, with about half going to the hospital. According to Wood, he told any detasseler dusted in fungicide to go to the hospital.

Oltman said only some teams were sent to the hospital. Her team was sent to another field to finish their shift. As she continued work, her arms began to burn, and when she returned home, her mother took her to St. Vincent for treatment, she said.

She was diagnosed with chemical skin burns, Oltman said. Her arms feel better now, but they still burn.

"It feels like just fire on your arms," she said.

Do they still do this, did the advent of using roundup on every field eliminate that?

When i was a kid in maybe the early 70's there would be trucks driving up and down the streets spraying DDT, huge fog clouds covering the streets and yards, kids playing right near it. Wasn't a big deal.

Hell yeah. 

I worked with  all sorts.  Black bears,  cheetahs, a black leopard,  a hyena. (Although I never had direct contact with him because he was aggressive with most) elephants,  sloths, monkeys,  a camel (which loved the  snow) he was funny as hell. He'd roll around like crazy but you had to keep your distance because he could kick you by accident.  Lol. I didn't really do much with reptiles. But pretty much all the big  cats were really cool(a couple of tigers and a pair of lions. They do play  rough  though) We always had extra people that were armed dealing with them  just in case.  The lemurs and monkeys were my favorite. And the  cheetahs were really cool. Basically big cuddle cats. Had many naps with them individually.
