The grain and fertiliser conveyor (10) of the present invention transportsparticulate material quickly and efficiently whilst minimising damage to thematerial (75) being transported. The conveyor includes an elongated housing(14) which houses a conveyor belt (16) adapted to receive material through acatchment hopper at a lower end of the housing and transport the material tothe upper end of the housing for discharge therefrom. The conveyor belt (16)is both cleated (66) and bordered (68, 70) which allows for larger volumes ofmaterial to be conveyed without contacting the side walls of the housing (14)and hence minimising damage to the material. Further, the conveyor (10)includes a non-complex mechanism for tensioning and de-tensioning the belt(16). It is envisaged that the conveyor (10) of the present invention maysupersede many conveyors and augers which are used today in the agriculturalindustry
