Abstract
An accumulation windguard includes non-porous sidewalls and a porous cover that extend about an accumulation area of a baler. The sidewalls deflect transverse airflow across the accumulation area and the cover allows for longitudinal airflow. Openings in the cover may be sized to deflect crop material to the accumulation area during the passage of airflow therethrough.
