On the wagon, twine up. In the hay loft or on the ground, bottom layer twine on the side, all higher layers were twine up. Why? Because dad did it that way.
+1. I worked for several dairy farmers putting up hay during the summers when I was a kid. First layer, twine on side. The rest had twine on top. Everyone did it the same. For me, it seems easier to do the twine on top. You just drop the bale and knee it tight. On edge, you have to flip it up to get it on its side. Over the course of a week of haying, I suspect that route is going to be slower. |
