NS Canada | Funny, I just asked 3 AIs to see what they would come up with:
brave: a 20 ft by 50 ft stave silo filled to a height of 50 feet can hold approximately 314 tons of corn silage.
google: A 20-foot diameter by 50-foot tall stave silo can typically hold around 390 tons of corn silage
grok: A 20x50 stave silo holds approximately 102 tons of corn silage at 13 pounds per cubic foot. If the silage is less dense (e.g., 10 lb/ft³), it could be as low as 78 tons, or if denser (e.g., 20 lb/ft³), up to 157 tons.
Odd how they're all pulling different weights per cubic foot and wildly throwing off their answers. So I corrected grok to tell it was using dry matter weights and got the following:
'You’re right to point out the distinction—I’ve been focusing on dry matter weights when you likely want the wet weight (as-fed) capacity of the silo, which is more practical for real-world use. Let’s recalculate the capacity of a 20x50 stave silo for corn silage using wet weight per cubic foot, avoiding dry matter conversions unless needed.
Final Answer:
A 20x50 stave silo holds approximately 314 tons of corn silage on a wet (as-fed) basis, assuming a density of 40 pounds per cubic foot at around 65% moisture.'
