A turner for a grain dryer, the grain dryer having an inner dryer wall and an outer dryer wall spaced from the inner dryer wall to define a vertically extending drying path between the inner dryer wall and the outer dryer wall, the turner comprising: a pair of opposing generally vertical side walls; a generally vertical dividing plate extending between the side walls and disposed between the inner and outer dryer walls, the dividing plate defining an inner channel and an outer vertical channel within the drying path of a grain dryer when the turner is installed in a grain dryer; and at least one pair of inner and outer inclined plates; the inner inclined plate being rotatably connected to one side wall on a first side of the divider plate and the second inclined plate being rotatably connected to the opposing side wall on an opposite side of the dividing plate; the inclined plates being selectively movable between a first, raised, position in which the first inclined plate is inclined downwardly in a first widthwise direction within the inner channel and with the second inclined plate being inclined downwardly in the opposite widthwise direction within the outer channel and a second, collapsed position in which the inner and outer plates are generally parallel to the side walls.
