PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To soak harvested agricultural products in hot water without performing a transfer operation and to effectively prevent a soaking paddy field boat to be soaked and agricultural products from floating up because of buoyancy.SOLUTION: A soaking paddy field boat 10 is laid on top of a paddy field boat T used in harvesting seed lotus roots R as agricultural products, and the seed lotus roots R harvested are stored in the soaking paddy field boat 10. After harvesting, the soaking paddy field boat 10 is separated from the paddy field boat T, and the soaking paddy field boat 10 storing the seed lotus roots R is placed on a placement stand 12. The seed lotus roots R stored in the soaking paddy field boat 10 are resiliently held by a net 18 and a spring 19 having a hook 19a, and the soaking paddy field boat 10 placed on placement boards 15a, 15b is held in a state in which a guide rail 17 keeps it from floating up. In this way when the seed lotus roots R are soaked in hot water in a soaking tank 1, the soaking paddy field boat 10 and the seed lotus roots R are kept from floating up because of buoyancy. |
