The test weight brings out the ire in people.
Tell me what I'm missing.
Bin is level full of actual 56 pound corn.
Bin is level full of actual 60 pound beans.
Should they not hold the same amount of bushels.
Obviously, if the corn weighs 60 lbs (often does) and the beans weigh 58 lbs (often do)
there will be more bushels of corn.
Or am I missing something?
Bushel is a volume measurement. 1.24 cubic feet in a bushel. Density doesn't change the volume, but it will change the weight of a given volume of product.
While grain is sold "by the bushel", it is actually sold by weight.
1 bu will always be 1.24 cu ft. The pounds of corn you can put in that bushel can change depending on density (test weight), but a bushel is still 1.24 cu ft. |
How much in the bin?
