east of indianapolis | I'm wanting to do some figuring on feedstuffs and was wondering how many tons of silage a guy should figure per acre on lets say 150 bushel corn. Is there a rough figure of say tons related to yield on a bushel bases or whats average. Thanks

| "here" yield goal divided by 6-7 gives you a rough start. |

Baldwin City, KS | Far as I've ever noticed, yield tends to have a lot to do with it . We just guess at what our dump wagon loads weigh, but I'd think 150 bu would have you up in the 20 ton per acre range. Just my guess. |

|
150 bushel corn should be in the 20 ton plus range per acre. |

|
near dyersville iowa | remember thats at 65% moisture for your calculations. |
|
| |
|
NCND | Appraised at 21 tons, I think it is closer to 18. |
|
| |
|
south central il. | 20 ton around here. |
|
| |
|
West Central WI | Variety is going to make some difference. If its a short grain corn maybe only 15 ton, a tall dual purpose will do 20-25 here. But i would say 18-20 ton would get most 150 bu corn as the ear/grain accounts for quite a lot of the weight too. |

western iowa,by Denison | always use 10 bushel equals a ton-150 bushel =15 ton
on earlage 20 bushel equals a ton
usually very good estimates as you always want to have a bigger pile then you need! |

| What do you figure it cost to raise to grow a ton of corn silage |
|
| |
|
N MO | 15 to 20 depending on hybrid |
|
| |
|
west central wisconsin | Another figure to use as an estimate I was always told is that half the dry matter in a corn plant is the grain. So 150 bu grain equals 4.25 ton of grain, plus the same amount of stalk. |
