Soybeans are more abrasion than corn. Corn has 3X the volume of soybeans. So maybe that is a tossup? Wheat is maybe the least abrasive of the 3? It does pack in tighter and it does seem to take the most horsepower to move. I think that an auger can move more bushels of wheat per hour than either corn or soybeans. So maybe all 3 are a tossup?
