That's funny, because around here, trimmers all get paid in cash, every evening. Ten or so guys/girls lined up with with their Rubbermaid totes, weighing out, getting paid in cash and going home for the night. At $180 - $250 a pound, and with the fast guys doing three or more pounds a day, the slow guys doing a pound, and everyone else doing somewhere in between, well, you can do the math. And that's every night for a few days to a few weeks, depending on how much is sitting up on the hill. Once again, you can do the math.
