According to a first aspect, a grain cart is provided. The grain cart includes a rolling frame; and a bin mounted to the frame and having one or more walls defining a space for storing an agricultural product. The grain cart also includes a folding auger assembly having an upper auger portion with a first longitudinal axis and a lower auger portion with a second longitudinal axis. The upper auger portion further has an upper auger, an upper auger housing, and a discharge spout coupled to a top end of the upper auger housing. The lower auger portion further has a lower auger and lower auger housing. A bottom end of the lower auger housing is coupled to the bin and a top end of the lower auger housing is coupled to a bottom end of the upper auger housing, such that the lower auger and upper auger are operable to convey the agricultural product from the bin to the discharge spout. The auger assembly is foldable about a folding axis between a stored position and an operating position, such that in the stored position, the upper auger portion is folded relative to the lower auger portion so that the upper auger portion extends along a wall of the bin, and in said operating position, the upper auger portion extends upwardly from the lower auger portion. The auger assembly is rotatable in the operating position about the second longitudinal axis.
