Most farmers in the U.S. plant field corn by the seed count, not by the bushel. However, since most farmers plant somewhere around 30,000 seeds per acre, you can figure the bushels thus: 30,000 seeds divide by 2,000 seeds per pound equals about 15 pounds divided by 56 pounds of corn per bushel equals about 1/4 bushel per acre. There are a great many factors, including seed germination percentage, which could change that figure.

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
