Two-For-One Feed Bucket Idea
It gets windy in Bogata, Texas, where John Denison uses buckets to feed cattle small pellets. That means blowing husks and, when it rains, wet spilled feed. So John cut a plastic barrel to a shape that fits under the storage bin spout and protects buckets as he fills them. In the same area, he attached it to the feed bin, bracing two metal straps formed into U shapes. He slides upside-down feed buckets over these to protect them from wind and rain.
