[QUOTE="somn, post: 522591, member: 3721"] 1 US bushel of Number 2 yellow corn weighs 56 pounds and is 15.5% moisture. Always has been always will be. You also might want to have someone explain to you how to figure shrink of shell corn it has never been 1 to 1. mnmtranching said he had 12.5 bushels of corn in every ton of silage. 1 bushel = 56# 56# x 12.5 = 700# 700# of corn in every 2000# of silage. or 35% Number 2 Yellow corn 35% of 40# = 14# I was giving him the benefit of the doubt at 13#. If he can't get cattle to gain off 13 pounds of No 2 yellow corn along with 27 pounds of 65% moisture corn fodder and 5# of grass hay he has a problem. [/QUOTE]
