Abstract
In some embodiments, a grain drying apparatus may include a drum with a grain auger including a flighting with air holes. The drum may be surrounded by an outer drum, the inner drum including a plurality of drum air holes. A volume of dehydrated air may pass around a helical air diverter, located in an annulus between the inner drum and the outer drum, and through the grain, thereby drying the grain.
