Or Blaine's Farm & Fleet in certain areas of WI, IA, and IL.  (Same 
family; different stores.)

I have some questions about the oil used on the baling twine itself and 
also admonish your regarding its use if trying for a prize-winning honey 
frame at the fair or for some extracted honey.  It's not nearly as bad 
as the cotton fibers but still can be rather sooty and can later can end 
up in the honey.   Weathered scraps are a good starter though.
