Customer Story: How Better Twine Transformed This Aussie Farm

Running a farm in rural New South Wales, Australia, sheep farmer James McAllister has spent over two decades mastering the rhythm of the land. But even with years of experience, one issue kept slowing him down—frequent breakages and inconsistent performance from low-quality baler twine.

“I used to think all twine was pretty much the same,” James shared. “But during peak baling season, every time a twine snapped or jammed the machine, it cost me valuable time and increased stress.”

In 2024, James made a switch. After speaking with fellow farmers and doing some research, he chose T&H Packaging’s premium polypropylene baler twine, designed specifically for sheep and hay operations in Australia’s climate. The result? A noticeable 30% increase in baling efficiency across the season.

So what made the difference?

“The breaking strength is consistent, and it feeds smoothly through my baler,” said James. “Even when the weather gets humid or dusty, it holds up. I was surprised by how much smoother the whole process became.”
With fewer machine interruptions and less twine waste, James was able to reduce fuel usage and complete baling tasks faster. He also reported a drop in maintenance needs for his baling equipment.

More importantly, he regained control over his schedule.

“Time saved means more time for other tasks—like taking better care of the sheep,” he added.

At T&H Packaging, we’re proud to support hardworking farmers like James. Our baler twine is UV-stabilized, high-knot strength, and made with consistent diameter, ensuring it performs well in Australian field conditions.
