The baler twine around here is definitely UV stabilized, according
to the manufacturers, hence the orange color.  Bridon's web
site also shows photodegradable baler twine that is designed
to fall apart.  Baler twine does far better than oridinary plastic rope
exposed to the sun, although it doesn't last forever.
