Corn Weight Variations Guide Farmers on Shelled Yield
At the Town agricultural experiment station a crib holding 7000 pounds of husked corn was weighed weekly for a year. Weight changes fell 9 percent October to January, 4.7 percent January to April, 31.7 percent April to July, and 25.7 percent July to October. Iowa legal shelled corn is 50 pounds per bushel, while 70 pounds per bushel is common for dry ear corn. When cribbed, 80 pounds per bushel is widely used, though many farmers think this too high. The Iowa study suggests selling corn fresh from the field may avoid drying losses, even at 80 pounds per bushel.
