New Holland branded twine is going up a minimum of $4 a bale and my dealer does not know what the shipping is going to be yet. They told me the increase is because of the increased cost of transportation due to the oil prices. All I know is that they still have a couple pallets of Grand Harvest twine left that I can get for around $17-$18 a bale (9000). I don't much care for the GH twine but I know the NH twine will cost at least $10 per bale more come spring. Thanks for the heads up on this as my dealer confirmed everything you said.
