Go to a tractor store. Surely there are one or two in your area. They tend to carry the baling twine much more than feed stores. I have seen it in Tractor Supply before; but I usually get mine from one of the several tractor dealers in our area.
Make sure to get the 130 lb knot strength variety which is square bale twine not the 110. The clips work much better on it and the line is just easier to handle because it is a bit heavier and thicker. I have never had a clip slide down on it from the weight of the heavy tomato plants nor have I ever seen it stretch or break. It is also fairly sun resistant and takes years to break down which means you don't have to worry about it starting to break near the end of the season like with natural twine.
