In June 1931 fifty-one farmers attended a meeting at Standish to discuss wages to be paid to workers during haying season. There was no uniform wage rate. Some paid $2.00 a day, others $3.00 day.  After considerable discussion it was agreed to pay $2.50 a day plus board. Another issue widely talked about, but there no consensus was reached was the amount of hours. However, just agreeing on a uniform wage was a major milestone.
