Small corn hauling wagons

You can just haul corn in the bed of your pickup. In lots of pickups it might be a good idea to lay (or tape down) some feed sacks over the joint between the bed of the truck and the tail gate. Otherwise you will have some leakage as you go down the road. A standard eight foot pickup bed, minus the knockouts for fender wells and such is 50.4 bushels. That is 2822 lbs. Depending on how you feel about your truck, that might be more than you want to put back there. You are in for a white-knuckle ride if you just have a standard 1/2 ton without any special towing suspension package.
