[QUOTE="tncattle, post: 903914, member: 5701"] Okay, here's the deal. It was in a corn crib that was 10x10 ft (a square) and it was piled about 9 ft. high at the most. As soon as I looked at it I knew it wasn't 60 tons!! I'm be no means an expert but I know those grain trucks hold (I think) around 70,000-80,000 lbs. and it was only about a 1/4 of one of them. So that's about 900 sq. ft. of ear corn. I've been gone all day and haven't figured out the calculation but I'm sure someone will before I check back in, got to tend to the kids :D Okay, I figured right at 25200 lbs. of corn, that's just a little off of 120,000 lbs. :mad: He wants $4000 so that's about $320 a ton if I figure right!! No wonder he hasn't sold it yet. [/QUOTE]
