There's a fix I'm considering for this problem - maybe someone who has tried it will chime in. If the soil is somewhat sandy, I'm thinking you could dump out a few bags of Quikcrete under the feeder and rake it in to the soil then wet it down - you could even form it into a slight dome shape so the water won't puddle. You would probably need to turn the feeder off for a few days prior so the hogs will quit coming around and leave it off until the concrete sets. Think that might work?

This, but use pure cement instead of quickcrete. Work it into the existing dirt with a hoe before a rain. Makes a hard surface they wont root on. Even better do it in a location without a feeder, then move the feeder to your new redneck slab.

Lay a piece of cattle panel under the feeder and pour about 3 bags of concrete on them. Be sure to raise it just a touch in the center so it will drain.

I've Heard laying hog panels flat on the ground under the feeder helps a lot

This will fix it. This is what we do. We put a feeder leg thru a panel hole and a t-post thru another tying the post to the leg. This keep the hogs from turning the panel. It works great and also keeps them from rooting and knocking the feeder over.
