Hi,
Brand new farm owner here. One of our neighbors cuts and bales the hay from our pasture, and we get a percentage of the profits when it is sold.
He recently did the fall cutting, and we had 2 big stands of Johnson grass and unbaled hay left over. He told us that there's baling twine buried in those two spots and it gums up the work on the baler. My wife and I decided to tackle it, and soon we were pulling up hundreds (if not thousands) of yards of red plastic baling twine. It's around 4-6" under the ground, in a grid pattern, approx 1' space in between the rows. We've asked farmers, ranchers and the Amish about it; nobody can figure out.
Right now we still live in the city and go to the farm on the weekends, so we only have 2 days per week to work on it. I still have some clearing to do, but I think we have it under control, at least for the time being.
Any ideas on the baling twine grid pattern?
Thanks,
Doug
