ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a silage handling system, or hopper, for the discharge chute of a silo and comprises a first member for securement to the lower extremity of the silo chute with this member having an opening of a size to allow the flow of silage therethrough. A second member is provided and is releasably securable to the first member whereby the first and second member cooperate to direct silage unloaded into such silo discharge chute. Release of the second member from the first allows access to the discharge chute through the opening in the first member. In a preferred embodiment the flange and the funnel members are both made of a plastic material such that the flange can be modified to fit the individual characteristics of the silo and discharge chute to which it is to be installed. The funnel member is quite light, simplifying the removal and re-engagement of the funnel to the flange. This system provides an effective means for controlling the discharge of silage from the discharge chute of a silo in a manner which avoids leakage and minimizes waste of silage. The system is capable of operating under a variety of different conditions while still providing good access to the chute of the silo. The system is simple and rugged and easily modified in the field.
