"Baling wire" is a term of art for jury-rigged fixes. "Haywire" is
another word for baling wire, but with difference connotations..
All the balers we had used "binder twine". Baling wire seems like a bad
idea. It seems easy to be leave wire in feed or bedding. Ingesting wire
is more likely to kill a cow than ingesting twine. "Hardware disease" is
what we called it when cows ingested stuff like that.
A binder is a different farm implement from a baler. It was replaced
by the combine harvester. It used binder twine to bind sheaves, not
bales.
