I have just finished a huge old bale of famer's string and would like to buy some more. Problem is: where does one get huge balls or bales of string from these days?

You mean binder twine? I get it from Mackays, but it's not obvious
how to order it on their Web page (they do online) - however, they
are competent on the telephone, so you could ask. Alternatively,
searching for it finds it.

Was going to suggest e.g. Mole Valley Farmers, but they seem to only
sell synthetic twine, so online?

Phil,

Thanks for the tip but they only sell nylon binder twine.
