Simplest way is to make your own funnel by going to the hardware store and buying a roll of metal flashing. Cut a piece to the size you need in order to roll it into funnel size and then either pop rivet it or use duct tape to keep it in place in the bucket. I assume you're anchoring a spin feeder onto the bottom of the bucket to thrown the corn out in a circular pattern.

So if it works out are you planning to try and get a patent on it?
