Were you and your co-workers above average or non-American? As an American worker, reasonably close to average in physical condition, I did work low-wage jobs (loading dock, janitorial, landscape) when in my late teens and very early 20s. No doubt I complained, but apparently I sufficed.

Complaining, I guess.
Frankly, it isn't primarily the conditions of work that would deter me from farm work--though that would, too--it's the pay.
