It made a Crop
A Bushel = 1.25 cu ft of shelled grain. A bushel of #2 yellow corn = 56 lbs. So, 10,000 bushels of #2 yellow corn = 12,500 cu ft. and that 12,500 cu ft. = 560,000 lbs.
But, if that same 12,500 cu ft is corn with a w/t 59 lbs. then that 12,500 cu ft = 590,000 lbs And that 590,000 lbs of corn = 10,535.71 bu. of #2 yellow corn.
