A crop material is unloaded from a storage bin by providing a generally triangular pit arranged below the base pad surface of the bin into which crop material can fall from the bin through one of two openings in the base floor. Opening the door of one of the openings at the center of the bin allows discharge of the material into the pit by gravity to an apex at a bottom of the pit below the opening. The pit has a bottom wall inclined upwardly and outwardly to exterior opening outside the bin. An auger standing outside the bin with an inclined auger tube is moved to a position extending downwardly from a top discharge end of the auger to a bottom feed end of the auger which is inserted into the pit through the exterior opening so as to extend to the apex at the bottom of the pit for extracting the material falling into the pit through the center opening. When the bin is emptied so that no more material flows into the pit, a second opening at the wall of the bin is opened thus emptying a path to the center from a door at the wall so that a bin sweep can be inserted to complete discharge of the material through the center opening. One part of the pit is covered by a perforated screen allowing injection into the bin of drying air from the pit.
