I bought my farm a few years ago from some of the nicest people you would have ever wanted to meet. They were very old school. They didn’t have a TV, computer or use technology much at all. They were only in there 40’s but they lived like it was still the 40’s. That was kind of neat about them but I wish they would have been more progressive about trash. They burned or buried everything. I have all these burn piles where they burned all variety of plastic. The remnants of those piles are terrible. But I’m getting off my topic.
What I need to ask is if poly twine will damage hay equipment? I was spreading an old compost pile this last week and the last owners had broke open hay bales and just thrown the poly into the compost pile. Surely they realized that it would never rot but that was their trash policy. Burn it or burry it.
Much of the twine just wrapped up on the spreader flail but I’m sure some did get spread. Do I need to walk the field to keep the hay equipment from being damaged? I won’t be selling much of the hay so what do you hay experts think? The field is about 20 acres.
Thanks Eric
