How many ounces is a bushel?
It depends on the material being measured. Bushel is volume measurement while ounces is a weight measurement. If you know the commodity being measured, you can then figure out the ounces. For example, dry shelled field corn is 56 pounds per bushel. Take that multiplied by 16 ounces per pound and you can say that for corn, a bushel is 896 ounces.
How many ears of corn per bushel?
The number of ears of corn in a bushel depends on the size of the ears of corn. On average, about 40 to 60 ears of corn are in a bushel.
What does a bushel of corn cost at market?
Approx $3.50 per bushel
What was price of corn per bushel in 1962?
$1.12
What was the price of corn per bushel in 1929?
$0.99
How many BTU per pound of wood pellets?
40.2 bushel of corn to a ton of wood pellets
How much does a bushel of sweet corn weigh?
Seed corn has a bushel weight of 56 pounds. The price in 2014 is $3.30 per seed corn bushel. For sweet, fresh corn there are 70 pounds per bushel, with the bushel selling for about $15/bushel retail.
How many bushels of ear corn are in a ton?
Ear corn is somewhat variable by its very nature, so the answer to this question can only be estimated. On average, shelled corn should weigh around 56 pounds US to the bushel. Ear corn is approximately one bushel = 0.8 bushel of shelled corn. Therefore, there should be around 45 bushels to the ton.The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that a bushel of ear corn weighs 70 lbs/ bushel. 2000/70#=28.57 bushels of ear corn to the ton.Although the two answers seem to be contradictory, they're not. The first answer assumes that one places ear corn into a one bushel container ("one bushel" being a volumetric measurement) and then shells it out, therefore making less than one bushel of shelled out corn. The USDA assumes that the user wants one bushel of shelled out grain after shelling, and so they add in the weight of the cobs to the shelled grain. It just depends on how you go about it.

How many tons of corn are in an acre?
Depends on a lot of factors- but the average yield of well cultivated corn is 160 bushels per acre. A bushel of shelled, dried corn is 56 lbs. That is 8960 pounds, or about 4.48 tons.
How many ears of corn per bushel?
The number of ears of corn in a bushel depends on the size of the ears of corn. On average, about 40 to 60 ears of corn are in a bushel.
How many pounds of ground ear corn are in a bushel?
It should be around 45 - 50 pounds. It's less than the standard of 56 pounds of shelled corn per bushel because the ground-up cob is lighter than the kernels, so reduces the total weight.
What does a bushel of corn cost at market?
Approx $3.50 per bushel
How many Gallons of ethanol are produced per bushel of corn?
One bushel of corn yields about 2.8 gallons of ethanol.
What is the BTU value of corn?
For our discussion, the two most important factors affecting corn's BTUs is moisture content and test weight. Moisture content subtracts directly from the overall weight of the corn. For example, if you have a pound of corn at 13% moisture, subtract .13 from the pound, which therefore equals .87 pounds of zero percent moisture corn. 13% of a 40-pound bag gives the consumer 34.8 pounds of zero percent moisture corn. Therefore it is evident that moisture is a key component in the amount of BTU's corn delivers. The other variable as we have stated above is test weight. Test weight is the measure of the quality and the number of BTU's per pound. Seed corn, cultivation, and weather determine the test weight per bushel. Higher test weights yield a larger BTU per pound. Typically test weight can range from 50 to 58 pounds per bushel, which corresponds to 7600 to 8500 BTU's per pound of zero percent moisture corn. When taking into consideration moisture and test weight we can fairly estimate the BTU's per pound and bag. The average test weight this year was 57.1 pounds per bushel, which equates to approx. 8,410 BTU's per pound at zero percent moisture. At 13% you have .87 pounds of zero percent moisture corn, which equals 7,316 BTU's per pound, because of the moisture content there is a loss of 1,094 BTU's per pound. Therefore, the total energy per bag would be, 40 pounds at 13% moisture times 7,316 or 292,640 BTU's per bag. When comparing with LP, 3 gallons of LP equals 274,500 BTU's. The average cost of LP has been 1.80 per gallon or 5.40 for three gallons. Therefore a 40-pound bag of corn will yield 18,140 more BTU's than 3 gallons of LP. The exact number of BTUs per pound of corn must take in efficiency of your stove, furnace or boiler.
