A granular feed distribution and ladder chute apparatus for use within a si lo comprising a ladder chute portion with internal alternating and staggered flights. One or more nozzles are located near the upper end of the ladder chute portion. Each nozzle is directed such that a spray pattern may be formed for spraying a concentration of a conditioning agent on a falling granular feed. Predetermined selected flights include cut-out portions arranged in a predetermined alternating sequence on the flights so that a distributed portion of the granular feed c an fall directly through the cut-out portion in one flight onto another flight locat ed on a same side from which the granular feed fell. Holes are included in the ladder chu te portion, which not only as access for cleaning and inspecting the flights, b ut also for facilitating the distribution of granular feed into an area outside the perimeter of the ladder chute portion and within the silo. A transition in cooperative engagement with the upper end of the ladder chute portion is preferably included. The bottom section of the transition portion is configured with an internally directed crowned section to facilitate the spreading of the granular feed into the ladder chute.
