A blast from the past. Not the way it was done where I grew up. Until 1985 we would fill a flatbed wagon with ear corn by hand (scooping into a new idea elevator) till the wagon was almost busting at the seams. Normally Wednesday, & Saturday every week. Haul it 3 miles to the local mill, & back, & then scoop it by hand into the cattle feeders by hand. When really bad weather hit improvising was essential. During the Blizzard of 78 if I remember right we fed straight corn, & hay to 101 feeder cattle. I vividly remember riding on the tractor (had no cab) while Dad was trying to open a path 1/4 mile back to the hayshed. The snow at one point went up the hood on an IH 666. Got a face full of snow more than once. Couldn't maneuver a wagon. He had a 3000 lbs bale mover with a wood deck would hold about 30 small bales, & He build the 2, or 2.5 foot side boards with stake pockets to haul ear corn. Those were the days.
