Abstract: A supporting standard for stationary farm implements is configured with a horizontally extending trough-like foot of downward-narrowing cross-section to enable the foot to sit lightly on soft earth and be easily extracted from frozen soil.

Abstract: The livestock feeder includes a relatively shallow, open top tank having a substantially solid bottom and generally vertical side and end walls, a rack located inside the tank for receiving different types of feed and having a plurality of horizontally spaced frame members which extend upwardly from the tank bottom with their lower ends spaced inwardly from the tank walls to define feeding troughs therebetween, and an outer framework having a plurality of frame members which are arranged to discourage the withdrawal of loose feed from the feeder. In a preferred embodiment the frame members are horizontally spaced in parallel relationship and extend diagonally from the upper extremity of the tank walls. Adjacent pairs of the diagonally extending outer frame members define a vertically angled opening through which individual livestock can project its head, while standing on the ground outside any one of the four sides of the feeder, and eat feed held in the rack and/or the feeding troughs.
