Abstract
A windguard for the upper end of an upstanding grain discharge conduit having an auger therein and including a tubular wall of larger diameter than said conduit and surrounding the upper end thereof in radially spaced relationship thereto, the upper end of said tubular wall extending beyond the upper end of said conduit to provide a wind shield or guard, whereby when the auger is operated to discharge grain from the upper end of said conduit, it will fall through an annular space between said tubular wall and conduit, out of contact with wind blowing past said conduit. The tubular wall preferably is axially adjustable relative to the upper end of said conduit in order to accommodate different discharge rates of grain and/or different amounts or velocities of wind blowing past said conduit.
