An automatic defoliator is mounted on one side of a conventional tractor and the defoliator strips all of the leaves from the tobacco stalk as the tractor is driven through the tobacco field. After the tobacco leaves are stripped from the stalk, the leaves are conveyed upwardly and discharged from the rear of the defoliator into a large bulk container mounted on a trailer which is connected to the tractor. The bulk container is of a size to accommodate approximately 3,500 pounds or 16 small racks of green tobacco and includes an elongated relatively wide imperforate side member having an imperforate end member at each end. The filled bulk container is then taken to a curing barn.
