Title: Portable storage bin

Abstract: A portable grain bin has a V-shaped botton with right and left hand augers to move the grain to the center of the grain bin where an auger elevator lifts it to be discharged into a truck. A perforated tube immediately above the augers in the bottom of the storage bin is connected to a fan on the storage bin so that dry air may be blown into the grain to dry the grain and keep it from heating. Wheels on the bin permit the bin to be moved from one field to an adjacent field, although when in use, the bin rests upon runners.
