A forced-warm-air system to prevent high humidity in Burley tobacco barns was built and tested. The system utilizes a small modified commercial crop dryer and an air-duct system constructed of light plywood and inflatable perforated polythene tubing. It effectively maintained the required humidity in wet weather. Building plans and operating instructions will be published separately.
