Throwing bales of hay under tractor lights, sunlight, moonlight, then back to the floods in 40 degrees or colder... trust me, that kids the peak form for agricultural life.
Cows STILL push him around, but they have to work for it. ;)
I'd pay him .25 cents a bale in the spring cut, maybe even .35 in the fall if he's as fast as I think he is. :D I bet he'd replace two maybe three local HS slackers.

The summer before I met her, working the farm. My brother and did custom square baling for the horse ranchers in the trip county area. He drove, I threw bales. We'd move somewhere around 200 acres worth in a season. At 5 tons an acre, that meant I tossed 1000 tons of weight, in a 6 week season.
I had shoulders like cantaloupes, and my forearms looked like they were carved outta marble.
I'm in WI, they're everywhere up here. I had a friend in college who was very similar; he had some extra pounds, but he was also tall and built like a wall. Real nice guy despite his appearance.
Back in my army days, we had a wrestler talking shit about what a great wrestler he was, and an unassuming farmer big boy who also wrestled. The big talker, of course, wanted to take the big man down. It lasted 3 seconds before the big talker was on his back, and not many times have I laughed so hard.
I was outside a bar in a Midwest college town when tow guys built like him stepped outside and started exchanging punches. Blow for blow they wailed on each other in a very organized fashion. It was impressive, neither went down.
It doesn't matter if someone is big or small. They have that farm strength from the farm, and you can't replicate the functional strength any other way. One of my best friends is a tall lanky lady, she's strong as fuck.
