OMG!!!
It's an "Auger". They use them to dig deep narrow holes....my hubby uses an auger at work to set new telephone/electrical poles. I gotta show him this pic!
Poor guy, that looks like an auger that goes to a feeder. This guy probably was a dairyman clearing out a plugged spout. I live in a farming community and this type of thing isn't uncommon. My father lost a friend two weeks ago to a farming accident.
