Several different ways to compute that. As has been shown already. Quite a difference when you see the results. 60 bushel difference between buck1400 and Hawk's method.

I use dry matter, which is what both above are doing, but using a different "factor" to get there.

Mine "should" come close to Hawk's, we'll see.

There are 47.6 pounds of dry matter in a 56# unit of 15% corn (56 times .85). Using the above examples of 25% moisture corn, a 56# unit has 42# of dry matter (56 times .75). 42 divided by 47.6 equals .882 bushels. Stretching that out to the thousand bushel example the other two used.

1000 bushels (56# units actually) of 25% corn would then yield you 882 bushels of 15% corn.
