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.
