One bushel of corn (maize) weighs 56 pounds, so 56 pounds = 25.40117272 kilograms.
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.
a bushel is 56 lb
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.
About 60 lbs.
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.
Approximately 0.893 of a bushel.
If the corn meets minimum standards, one bushel weighs 56 pounds.
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.
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.
One bushel of corn is 56 pounds, so 56 pounds = 0.028 ton (US short ton).
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.
