Answer ON PAPER: 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. 7.9 ft3 in a 55-gallon drum One bushel is 1.24 approx cubic feet. 6.37 bushels per 55-gallon drum. 56 pounds is a bushel 356 lbs in a drum of corn. 5.6 drums in a ton of corn. 35.7 bushels of corn in a ton. IN REALITY: Grain elevators measure bushels by weight. Actual weight may vary -- Between 350 and 400 pounds can fit in a 55 gallon drum So 350/56 = 6.25 bushels by weight. or 400/56 = 7.14 bushels by weight
A bushel is a set measure of volume equal to 1.25 cubic feet so and there are 0.156 cubic feet per gallon so 5 bushels of grain would fit in a 40 gallon drum which in the case of dry corn would weigh 280 pounds.
The typical weight of feed corn (#2 yellow dent corn) is 56 pounds per bushel. By volume, there is about 8 gallons in a bushel. Thus there is 7 pounds in a gallon of corn.
There are about 6.5 pounds of corn in a single gallon. This means that a 55 gallon drum could hold 360 pounds of corn.

There are 150 ears of sweet corn in a 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.
Assuming the corn weighs 56 pounds per bushel as it should, 25 gallons (US, dry) is 175 pounds total weight.
Assuming that the corn is shelled and that the drum is filled to level full and is precisely 30 gallon capacity and that the corn meets minimum test weight standards, then it would hold 3.75 bushels.
One bushel of corn yields about 2.8 gallons of ethanol.
If the corn meets minimum standards, one bushel weighs 56 pounds.
1.6 5-gallon buckets in one bushel.
