ABSTRACT:
A support rail has openings extending therethrough throughout its length to receive tobacco sticks with tobacco stalks thereon with adjacent openings having the tobacco sticks supported from opposite sides to balance the support rail. The support rail is mounted on a carrier or sled to enable the support rail with the tobacco sticks to be pulled into a tobacco barn by a tractor, for example. The support rail is mounted in vertically spaced relation to a base of the carrier so that the tobacco carried by the support rail will not engage the ground or the base. The support rail has a hook at the end of each of two ropes extending from its upper side to enable cables connected to a winch, which is mounted in the barn, to be connected thereto to lift the support rail from the carrier when the winch is activated. When the carrier returns to the barn a second time with another of the support rails, knots in each of the two ropes, which also extend from the bottom of the support rail connected to the winch through the connected cables, are connected to the hooks on the upper side of the support rail on the carrier to enable the support rail on the carrier to be connected to the support rail in the barn so that the support rail on the carrier may be lifted therefrom when the winch is activated. This process is continued until each bent of the barn is filled with a plurality of support rails in vertically spaced relation to each other with the uppermost support rail in each bent connected to one of the winches.
