Here is an estimate that assumes test weight of wet shelled corn is 51 pounds/bushel and combined moisture is 2 % greater than hand shelled moisture.

##################################################################
crop is corn
what is average weight of shelled ear before drying, in ounces? 6
what is average number of ears per acre? 28500
what is measured moisture of shelled corn before drying, in percent? 26
what is measured test weight of shelled corn before drying, in pounds/bushel? 51
what is anticipated harvest loss, in percent? 2

computed dry yield: 163.6 bushels/acre
computed dry test weight: 58.2 pounds/bushel
