Portable Cone Storage Racks

At the present time cones are brought into a work center or ranger station in sacks, and the sacks are stored on top of the other, or thrown together in a pile. This is a poor method of storing as there is no chance for moisture to escape from the sacks and allow precuring of the cones. Heat builds up in the sacks and there is possible loss of germination of the seed. Also, when sacks are piled up they are difficult to inventory.
