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.

How many pounds of ear corn make a bushel?

There is no absolute answer to this, since the ears of corn can vary so much in size, shape, and weight. However, the general rule of thumb is to multiply the shelled corn weight by 0.8. Since a bushel of shelled corn should weigh 56 pounds, then a bushel of ear corn should weigh around 45 pounds. This, of course, refers only to field, or dent, corn, not sweet corn, popcorn, or any of the other types.
