My brother retired 7-8 years ago and rented his farm to the son of a BTO. They asked him if he would drive tractor for them, knowing his experience as a careful operator. The first year they paid him $12 per hour to ride around in the JD track tractor and monitor the GPS, plus drive grain cart, trucks, etc. He also has a CDL that allows him to drive their semi-trucks.
After a couple incidents with other hired help, the father, son and brother work as a team so they don't hire any other help. Brother never breaks any machinery, can run anything that they have, is a better mechanic than they are. He has never asked them for more money, but they have voluntarily been increasing his pay rate over the years. In 2016 they paid him $25 per hour for his work. He turned 75 last fall, is in good health but I don't know how long he can keep that up.
