Kentucky farmers warned over wool tying with binder twine
L. J. Horlacher of the College of Agriculture urges Kentucky sheep producers to switch from binder to paper twine before shearing.

Paper twine costs 20 to 25 cents a pound, enough to tie about 40 fleeces, adding roughly one half cent per fleece.
