Allen, here we have to pay 8-9 dollars per 32 pound sack to get beans (shell) or peas (southern) picked. We usually get 28-30 dollars per sack when sold. Bill In Texas

anyone have a clue how to determine piece work rates on things like
peas and beans?

Having access to what the canning companies pay would be a start, I
guess. (They used to pay us 2cents a pound and people were making a
living off from that...but that's another story...)

This is picking for a CSA so I dont readily think of
dollar-value-of-the-crop when trying to determind what's fair to all
parties.

Your ideas and info appreciated.

Thanks
