So we were shelling corn yesterday and I was running the grain cart. We were running DeKalb 64-22. When we got done unloading the round the grain off that round weighed 30500#. The test weight was 63#
Then we got into a block of pioneer 13777. The corn off that round weighed 31050#. Its test weight was 60#.

Million dollar question and the poor dead horse taking another beating…. Which variety yielded more?


Only time test weight matters is when you count kernels to determine yield


Wrong, thats still kernal weight not TW.

64-22 and 66-06 were a prime example for us this year. Normally divide by 70000, to get yield and T.W. is normally 57-58 on those hybrids. This year the TW was 62-64 and working back you would have had to divide by 93,000 kernals/pound to get the actual yield.
