The invention pertains to a rotor in an agricultural feed mixer used in preparation of livestock feed, the mixer being of the type having an open topped tub defining therein an upper circular surface of a flat bottom above which is mounted the rotor for rotation about a vertical central axis. The rotor includes a central column with a flighting spiralling about the column from a lower forward edge to an upper trailing edge and providing an upper feed conveying surface inclined upwardly continuously from the forward edge. The forward edge is disposed a short distance above the upper surface of the bottom and extends inwardly from an outer point at an outer periphery of the flighting to an inner point at an outer surface of the column. At least a portion of the forward edge deviates rearwardly in relation to direction of rotation from a radial line extending from the central axis of the rotor to the outer point at the outer periphery. A feed directing plow is located in front of the forward edge and is slanted upwardly from a lower edge proximate the upper surface of the bottom to the forward edge of the flighting at a steeper inclination than that of the flighting. The engagement of a front face of the feed directing plow deflects the flow of feed upwardly and slightly inwardly towards the central column to accomplish thorough mixing quickly while making efficient use of input power.
