The invention relates to a method for ventilating and / or drying harvested agricultural crops Goods such as grain, fodder plants or the like.

The well-known method by which the mown crop is dried on the ground or on so-called riders or drying racks are placed by hand and removed and retracted after drying, require a lot of work and time. In addition, with the unavoidable repeated Reloading and unloading of valuable parts of the goods, especially grains and leaves of forage plants, get lost. With the well-known under-roof drying, the dangers of spoilage are indeed of the property largely remedied by climatic influences, but the under-roof drying continues Systems or fixtures in the buildings that are not available or to be installed everywhere. In addition to the investments, the investment in time and work is not insignificant.

With the method according to the invention, every farmer, especially mountain farmers, be given the opportunity to ventilate the mown crop in the air and / or to dry without further processing is required, and then the goods in easily transportable containers for further processing or to be transported to consumption.

According to the mowed, lying on the ground good, z. B. Grain yars or fodder crops, mechanically or pneumatically picked up and placed on a spread out tarpaulin. The tarpaulin can if the ventilation and / or drying of the goods is to take place on the spot in the field, The tarpaulin can also be spread out on the floor, provided ventilation and / or drying at a remote location, e.g. B. in the yard or in a barn, should be done on a mobile Base to be spread out. The tarpaulin must be made of a waterproof material, e.g. B. a plastic film, and should be provided with air-permeable perforations with different diameters and are attached to certain points on the tarpaulin. After the goods have been applied the tarpaulin with the goods loosely rolled up in a spiral, so that a bale is wrapped with the tarpaulin arises, which is well permeable to air in the axial direction.

Each bale is then stored off the ground until the desired condition is achieved.

The further transport of the bales to the place of further processing, e.g. B. on a threshing machine or consumption, is just as easy as removing the goods from the envelope.

In the winding bale, the material can easily be swept through by the air in the axial direction, so that all parts of the bale are evenly ventilated and / or dried. The holes in the enveloping Tarpaulins are expediently kept smaller at the top of the wrapping bale than at the bottom, in order to largely prevent precipitation (rain, dew) from entering the bales. The procedural steps can be mechanized to a large extent, making the new process in all respects Offers advantages.
