Lenawee Co Michigan | Correct, it's just lower density, not less pounds. Wheat example:
Your wheat is ready to thresh and weighs 62 lbs/bu. Gets rained on once and drops to 61. Gets rain again and drops to 60.
If you have 50,000 lbs of wheat at 62 lbs before the rain, you still have 50,000 lbs but at at 60 lbs after the rain.
The rain doesn't cause a loss of weight. It just swells the wheat. Each time the wheat re-dries it does not shrink down as tightly in the kernel as before. | |
