ASABE Revises Agricultural Baling Twine Standard

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has revised its standard for agricultural baling twine. The revised ASABE standard ANSI/ASAE S315.4, Agricultural Baling Twine for Automatic Balers, reflects current increased twine strength for small and large square bales and also includes twine for round bales. The data for the newly incorporated values were provided and evaluated by a diverse committee of industry experts.

An electronic download of the standard will be available on the ASABE online Technical Library at elibrary.asabe.org.
