Corn lbs per sq/ft

[TXBRASS]

Had this saved somewhere but can't find it. How many pounds of corn per sq/ft of volume in a feeder? Does 37 pounds per sq ft sound right?

Do you mean per cubic foot? If so, it totally depends on your corn to pea gravel ratio.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for. Sorry if its not

How do you measure a bushel of corn?

To determine bushels of grain or shelled corn by volume, calculate grain volume in cubic feet, and divide by 1.25 or multiply by. 8. To determine bushels of ear corn by volume, calculate grain volume in cubic feet, and divide by 2.5 or multiply by. 4.

Got that from h ear [emoji56]

Should be around 45 lbs./cubic ft. for shelled corn.

[TXBRASS]

Yes. Per cubic foot. Thank you.

A bushel is 1.25 cubic feet. A bushel of corn weighs 45 pounds. 37 lbs/cubic foot sounds a bought right.

A bushel of corn is 56lbs.

There is approximately 40 lbs in a forty lb bag and approximately 50 lbs in a fifty lb bag. unless your buying it at Chumchal bros.

I have been using this formula for years to figure out how much bulk corn we need to order due to various size feeders and various amounts of corn still in feeders. Measure feeder. Ex: 36”x36”x36”=46656 cu/in. There is 1728 cu/in per cu/ft. So 46656 divided by 1728 = 27 cu/ft. Corn is 45 lbs cu/ft. Multiple 27x45=1215 lbs.

I like your math.

Right at 45 lbs a cubic foot. That’s the value I use building my bulk feeders. Good Huntin, and God Bless, Rusty
