When my brother and I were in college, I worked as a farm hand the same summer he was working a computer engineering internship. His hours were capped at 39/wk and he still made more money per week than I did working 80/wk.
I loved farming, but there is not a ton of money in unskilled labor. (Sure, you can do a lot better if you have skills/experience or own the farm...)
I’ve known a few farmhands and they claimed to not mind harvest season because of the pay.
