ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for field drying harvested crops, particularly peanuts, in the form of an open-topped container having sides, ends and a bottom of wire mesh fine enough to retain the crops. Tubular wire mesh conduits extend inwardly from opposite side walls and terminate inside the container. Pivoted legs support the container above the ground, oriented in a direction to direct natural currents of ambient air into the conduits and through the contained crops. Selectively usable shades and shutters permit shading from direct sunlight and exclusion of air flow or inclement weather.
