ABSTRACT:
A plurality of elongated flexible members are initially disposed in generally parallel relation over a foraminous support structure upon which a bed of hops to be dried is subsequently placed and through which heated drying air is to be subsequently pumped for passage upwardly through and drying the bed of hops. After the bed of hops has been partially dried and the hops of the bed have settled and become crusted, opposite ends of adjacent elongated members are upwardly displaced from opposite sides of the bed of hops in order that the elongated members may tear upwardly through the crusted bed of hops in the manner of an elongated flexible tear member. After the bed of hops has been torn by the elongated members from opposite sides of the bed, heated drying air may continue to pass upwardly through the bed of hops for the purpose of completing the drying process.
