One local farm gave a candy bar if you stayed the whole season too. Harry Bass is gone now but a big local farmer. Even sponsored a little league team.

I remember a quarter a barrel...my kids got 60 cents. Neat to see the boy in the field looking after his smaller brother. Families grow up around it..

This farm operation is a fellow in Sherman..Stacyville area...Kim someone..he is a teacher and grows taters just so local kids can pick for a $1 a barrel. My kids who have moved on to harvesters/potato house work got 60 cents a barrel a few year back. I remember a whopping 25 cents for 165 pounds of spuds when I was dragging a basket around the field. Picking tops definitely helped you pick faster when you got barrels to fill! Hard honest work and the farmer needed you, you liked the money!

Those were the days!! I worked for Lendel Mills in washburn back around 1989 for a couple season picking potatoes. Made it easier to pick if I went ahead and pulled the tops before the digger came through. I always loved the end so you picked more rows at once but had longer breaks. I still have my number tickets that you put on the barrel. I've got to get my videos off VHS had add them to you tube. From working the fields to working the potatoe house in winter. Where is this farm located??

Oh yea I picked for 40 cents a barrel!! You got a 10cent bonus for every barrel if you stayed all season.Last yearI work the barrel truck for a big $35 a day!!When My father brought me to pick each morning he would say that my meals I brought was worth more than what I made that day. I picked 50 barrels a day. He said I was better off staying home and he would pay me what he spent on my meal!! I should have took the offer!! But it was fun going out and having fun and making money the HARD WAY!!
