| boog - 6/22/2026 11:43 Then why does FSA & MPI use a “pack factor” when measuring a bin for a farm stored loan or yield! FSA pack factor for corn 56# TW = 1.018 57# TW = 1.033 58# TW = 1.048 59# TW = 1.063 60# TW = 1.078
Because they're trying to convert a volume measurement to weight. A bushel is a measurement of volume, not weight. We sell grain by weight.
Try to get a commercial elevator to buy a bin of corn based on the FSA measurement. I'd guess they'll trust their scale more than the FSA/MPI measurements.
