It kind of depends on how it's prepared, but if it were the only component of a meal, and if it were made into a simple cornmeal mush, for example, one bushel of shelled, dried dent corn should be able to feed at least 50 people. This allows for a little more than one pound of corn per person.

Caution should be taken to prevent the onset of pellagra, a niacin deficiency caused by using corn as a diet staple without proper preparation.

How many ears of sweet corn in a bushel?

This question does not have a definitive answer, because it depends on the size of the ears of corn. The best judgment would average between 40-60 ears of corn. The most common farmer's measurement used for the sale of bushels of sweet corn would be four dozen (48 ears of corn) per bushel. An ear of corn comes in various sizes, depending on several factors -- the hybrid variety (such as Golden Queen, Candy Corn, Silver Queen, Bodacious, etc.), the weather during the growing season (a drier season may produce a smaller ear, but be just as sweet and filled-out as corn produced during a wetter season). So a bushel of smaller corn may not appear as full as a bushel of a larger-earred corn). Regarding the sale of feed corn (corn used to feed animals), we use the standard farmer's measurement of four dozen. But when we sell sweet corn (corn used for cooking to feed humans) to our own customers, we count out a "bushel" as 54 ears -- 4 1/2 dozen.
