An improved auger hopper includes a tarpaulin with a centrally positioned, rigid receptacle secured thereto by a retaining ring. The hopper also includes a cover which fits over the receptacle for both enclosing the tarpaulin within the receptacle for storage and for stacking. Preferably, the receptacle is in the form of a circular shallow pan. When in use, the tarpaulin is spread out on the ground and grain is dumped thereupon prior to lifting the grain up into an adjacent silo with an auger. This prevents the grain from being contaminated by dirt and ground moisture. The tarpaulin includes grommets adjacent the periphery thereof so that the tarpaulin may be wrapped and fastened about a pile of grain to store the grain temporarily when the silo is full.
