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 bushels of corn equal one ton?
AnswerA dry bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds. Therefore a ton of Corn will be just over 35.7 bushels. (2000 pounds/56 pounds = 35.714286)The above answer seems incorrect. One ton (of corn or anything else) is NOT equivalent to 200 but to 2205 pounds (one pound is about 453,6 grams).Therefore one ton of corn is equivalent to 39.375 bushels (2205 / 56).Both of the above answers are correct. A short ton is 2000 pounds. A long ton (not very common) is 2240 pounds. A metric ton (also spelled tonne) is 2205 pounds, or 1000 kilograms.So one short ton of corn is equivalent to 35.7 bushels,One long ton of corn is equivalent to 40 bushels,One metric tonne of corn is equivalent to 39.4 bushels
