The perforated floor has a plurality of grain discharge openings formed adjacent the outer ends thereof, each of which are selectively closed by a trap door valve means. Power means is provided for moving the valve means between opened and closed positions responsive to the temperature of the grain positioned on the floor. A pair of spaced apart upstanding wall members are positioned above the floor to maintain the grain thereon in a predetermined manner. A sensing means is provided above the floor to actuate the material conveyor means and the means for introducing drying air into the interior of the bin.
