The workers will obtain the pine straw from pine fields.

The workers activities every year, along the employment period are remove grass, shrubs, cones, and other debris from the baling rows. Every fifth or sixth row can be used as a debris row to keep the baling rows cleared. The workers will then rake pine needles by hand into windrows in the center of the baling rows. They need to be sure to exclude insects, weeds, and debris from the pine straw windrows to ensure high-quality straw to the customers that requested the product. The baler should follow the raker down the windrows with a box baler, packing the bales into the baler and ensuring the twine is tight enough to hold the straw bales, sometimes this is difficult, the key to baling is the ability to wrap twine around the straw to hold it together, the employer offers training post hire and assist the workers whenever is neccesary. When the pine straw bales are tightly packaged and dry, the workers need to haul the bales on trailers or to a storage facility.
