Death comes to us all. Life's but a walking shadow | The factor to convert ear corn to grain absent an actual shelling percentage. 70 lbs of dry ear corn is assumed to yield 56 lbs of shell corn. I believe you're referring shelling loss when accounting for the loss from thrashing the corn. In my mind shelling loss is the kernels and unthrashed kernels attached to cob exciting the combine as opposed to header loss. Total of the header loss, shelling loss and unharvested down corn would be harvest loss.
If you already shelled the corn off the ears before you weighed it, then your yield would be 20% higher. That is my misunderstanding, sorry.
