Using sisal twine means you just feed the hay and stay in the comfort of a heated cab. Net-wrap on 4' wide round balers is not as popular in the center states like TN,KY,NC,VA,WV and other areas because this is the freeze/thaw region. Much of the hay is stored outside & net is frozen to the bale. When the net is frozen to the bale it is a mess to cut off & all this happens in the cold in the morning before work. The cow/calf producer often feeds in multiple places. The time saved on the front-end with net-wrap does not work on the backend.
So they can digest that stuff eh.
Makes sense to me.
