A grain storage unloading system (10) with a series of augers for unloading grain (42) from a storage bin (11) is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for unloading grain (42) from a storage bin (11). The system includes a horizontal discharge auger conveyer (20) disposed above the bin's floor, the outlet end (25) of the horizontal auger conveyer (20) communicating with a point outside the grain bin (11). The inlet end (24) of the horizontal auger conveyer is interconnected to a vertical auger conveyer (13). The present invention also includes a sweep auger (32), the length of the sweep auger (32) extending the radius of the grain bin, which transports grain (42) radially toward a central part of the bin (11).
