wow.........ask a simple question and it turns into a pissing match. Next time I will just google it. Thanks for all the respectable answers.


It's a loaded question. If you ask how many bushels of beans a 12,000 bushel bin would hold the question would be a lot different. I have hauled 54 to 62 pound corn out the same bin that on paper holds 12,500 bu. Total bushels removed can vary from 12,000 to 14,000 depending on TW. Guess you could ask how much a 30' bin 21' tall would hold and you would get a more accurate answer. [/QUOT

and he would of got the same answer it all depends on test weight and moisture

A bushel of corn will always weigh 56 lbs. at 15.5% moisture
A bushel of beans will always weigh 60 lbs. at 13% moisture

change test weight or moisture or both it changes the volume of a bushel not the weight of a bushel
