> If you make $149/hr, it's cheaper for you to pay the quoted cost.

If you're salaried at Google for 40 hours/week with no paid overtime and no side gigs allowed, the median value of your time is $149/hr but the marginal price is $0/hr because working an extra hour doesn't make you any extra money.

I suspect farming is similar - it's not like you can take that free hour, add 4 square feet to your field and produce $149 more wheat.

Depends, at planting or harvest time no working on planting or harvesting when the weather allows costs a lot more than $500/hour. However in the middle of winter there is plenty of time where the farm has nothing you need to do and so the value of your time is zero.

If you're salaried at Google, but the extra hour of work gets you closer to promo, which results in a pay bump, is it really worth $0 though?
