Most of our hay is put up using net wrap but what little plastic twine we have is ALWAYS removed before being fed.
I got some rounds from a neighbor last year and he must have had problemswth the tie mechanism ecause i had piece of small plastic twine through out the bales. I tried to pick it all up but come Spring I found all the little balled up pieces that the cows had eaten and brought back up.
I really like the net wrapped bales becaue they are easier to remove in freezing weather than frozen strings and the bales hold together better.
I"m getting off topic but we found that laying the net wrapped bales on the ground in rows has less loss that stacking them two high in a "T" shaped formation. The water runs down the side of the upper bale saying attached to the bale and gets into the bottom bake thats standing on end and ruins the hay. Not so with twine wrapped baled. The surface is so rough on the twine wrapped bale that the water does not stay attached to the bale like it does on the net wrapped bale and drips off the side. i ruined about a dozen bales that way last year, learning my lesson the hard way.
