It depends on how many acres it took to fill the bins. If there is 12000 bu in the bin with 56 lb test weight and 11570 bu in the bin with 54 lb test weight and it took 61.5 acres to fill the first bin and 57.8 acres to fill the 2nd bin, i would pick the 2nd bin.
I calculate bin one at 195 and bin 2 at 193
12000 x 56 = 672000>>>>>> 672,000/61.5/56 = 195
11570 x 54 = 624,780>>>>>> 624,780/57.8/56 = 193
If that 11570 bu is 56 lb then yes it would have been a 200 average. A bushel is a measure of volume, but since corn is traded in weight we use it as a measurement of weight by saying a standard bushel weighs 56 lbs. |
I'm sorry I'm posting this. I never thought I'd get into the TW debate but...
