North Central Indiana | We sell by the lb out of the field… it just has a fixed base unit weight of 56Lb for corn. Guess we could sell by the single pound (roughly $.075 currently for July), or by the hundred ($7.50 for July) or by the ton ($150.00). All a bushel is in ag is a set unit weight.
Show me any scale ticket or elevator website that says they don’t buy by the pound.
Of course if we go strictly by pounds then you don’t have a consistent way to measure storage. Because storage is by volume not weight(should be common sense) so if you don’t have some conversion that can get you to a reasonably consistent volume from weight they’d have no good way to size bins and the like. They could switch to a relative volume based on 100 pounds of corn but you’d still have the guys that say “well I can actually fit 101 pounds of corn in that space so my yield was higher”
