Baler twine

Looks like TSC just doesn't even carry it anymore. I went looking for 16000 foot sisal this morning. No twine out on the floor. I asked at the counter and the gal told me to go out in back and she'd send somebody out. All there was, was a few old bales of 9000 and a couple of boxes of plastic way up high on a shelf.
I went to the place where I get my seed, fertilizer and spray, he's generally a few dollars higher, so my second choice. He only had 9 bales. He said the trouble is, not many use 16000 sisal anymore, so he doesn't get much. He said he'd call and see if he could get another pallet Wednesday. I guess I might have to start ordering a pallet of my own in the fall to make sure I have it. No way I'm going back to plastic junk and I don't want to spend a fortune using 9000 in the round baler. Chalk another one up to progress. My baler doesn't have net wrap.
 
I had heard this early spring there was real tight supplies on twine, so I bought some in April when it showed up on the shelf.

You might have trouble this year.

As far as I know,it's just plastic twine that's hard to get. A shortage of polyethylene. Lyle said he'd had some 7200 plastic ordered since March and still didn't have it. He was pretty confident that he could have another skid of sisal next week.
 
Must be the local store that doesn't have anything for farmers I guess. The hardware store has more than they do. Toys Shoes and Clothes, that's what TSC means here.
 
Despite the PE shortage, baler twine around here is very plentiful and cheaper than Ive paid in several years. I think it was $21 for plastic and $42 for sisal. More than enough at every store Ive been too.
 
The tsc here in ohio has a huge supply of it my brother in law is the assistant manager he says he doesn't have any problems getting it.
