If you can shell the corn off the cob then its 100-%moisture of the grain/100 multiplied by the weight of grain then divide by 47.62 lbs/bu. Example....20 moisture corn with a weight of 10,000 lbs. 100-20/100=.8. So then .8 times 10,000 lbs=8,000. And finally 8,000/47.62 lbs/bu=167.99 bu. Hope this helps
