A collapsible agricultural storage container having a base, and a plurality of side panels removably connected to the base panel and interlocked at their edges by elongated, removable corner members. Each side panel is adjacent to two other side panels, and each side panel has first and second edge portions having a key member extending therefrom. Each corner member has a pair of keyways that slidably receive the key members of adjacent side panels to interlock the side panels together. The side panels include a top edge portion having an aligning rail extending upwardly away from a stacking support for alignment of an upper storage container stacked atop a lower storage container. Each side panel also has a bottom foot portion that extends below the base panel and slopes inwardly of the aligning rail to a position directly below the stacking support. The bottom foot portion has guideways and footrail portions spanning across the guideways to provide a closed, four-sided aperture that is shaped and sized to receive the fork of a forked moving device used to move the storage container.

A collapsible storage container, comprising: a base having four perimeter portions; four side panels removably connected to said base, each at one of said perimeter portions, each of said side panels having first and second edge portions, said first and second edge portions being substantially perpendicular to said base and spaced apart from each other when said side panels are connected to said base, each of said first and second edge portions having a key member, said first edge portion of each side panel being adjacent to said second edge portion of another said side panel when connected to said base; and four elongated corner members removably interlocking said side panels, each of said corner members having substantially identical construction to removably interlock said first edge portion of one side panel and said second edge portion of another side panel, such that each corner member can be used to interlock any two of said side panels with said first edge portion of one side panel adjacent to said second edge portion of another side panel, each of said corner members having a pair of keyways therein, each sized to slidably receive and retain said key members of said first edge portion of one side panel adjacent to said second edge portion of another side panel, and said key member of said first edge portion having a first height relative to said base when said side panels are connected to said base, and said key member of said second edge portion having a second height relative to said base when said side panels are connected to said base, said first height being greater than said second height, such that one of said corner members will engage said key member of said first edge portion of one side panel before engaging said key member of said second edge portion of another side panel during installation of said corner member onto said one side panel and said another side panel.
