The wife and I were spreading fertilize for some late corn we are gonna try and about 1/3 way thru it started raining and fertilize started gumming up in the spreader. We all know its a pain. I remembered a big golf umbrella a salesman had gave me was in my truck A couple bungee cords and a ratchet strap an we had the umbrella mounted over the hopper. I will have to say it worked way better than expected. LOL
