Life on a Farm Pays When You Earn Ten Dollars an Hour
New Hampshire based junior vegetable grower Russell Sears, 18, crowned champion of the National Junior Vegetable Growers Association, earned about 1300 dollars in a season by growing and selling produce on his family plot. He grossed about 10 dollars an hour by working weekends and vacations, hiring help as needed, and selling direct to grocery stores. Sears plans to continue farming, modernize his 100 acre family farm, and attract tourists while keeping city life at bay. He aims to profit over five thousand dollars yearly after expenses and wants to phase out dairy cows to focus on potatoes, poultry, and tourism.
