Abstract
A grain saving apparatus for a combine disposed at the discharge end of the combine includes a vaned member rotated relative to a straw support in the form of an open grate concave to receive a mixture of straw and grain from straw walkers in the separating sections of the combine and to change direction and velocity of movement of the material and direct it between the vaned member and straw support to separate grain and straw so that the heavier grain is collected for processing in the combine and the lighter straw is discharged by the vaned member to the rear of the combine.
