1 bushel [US, dry] = 1.2444560268 cubic feet. A 60' diameter bin will have 2,827.4333 cubic feet per vertical linear foot. Therefore, one vertical foot of corn in the bin will be 3,518.62 bushels (approximate). This is based only on the straight bushel volume; it does not allow for corn which may be light (or heavy) on test weight, or with a moisture content outside the norm.
The simple answer is that it has a volume of a bushel. A bushel is about 35 liters or about one and a quarter cubic feet. The imperial bushel is about 3% larger. As for the actual dimensions of a bushel basket, I would have to get back to you on that, but I would guess about 18" diameter and a foot tall.
The biggest bin can be split into a number of things. Amount of storage , height and diameter. As far as I know, there is one bin that wins two of the categories. It's a bin made by a company called Brock. It's 156 ft in diameter (across), 70 ft high at the peak and can hold op to 1.34 million bushel of grain. Another Brock bin that's only 132 ft across can be built as tall as 98 feet.
The bushel was originally a measurement of volume, but for agricultural produce these days it is regularly agreed as a measurement of weight. But one bushel is not standardised: the precise agreed weight can vary from state to state, and also according to what produce is being measured.In New York in the 1850's one bushel of dried apples was 22 lbs; but to know how many fresh apples make a bushel in your locality, you would need to ask at a local produce receipt centre.
To calculate the number of bushels in a grain bin, first determine the volume of the bin in cubic feet by measuring its dimensions (diameter and height). Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: ( V = \pi r^2 h ), where ( r ) is the radius and ( h ) is the height. Then, convert the volume from cubic feet to bushels by using the conversion factor, where 1 bushel is approximately 1.244 cubic feet. Finally, divide the total volume by 1.244 to get the total number of bushels.
. . . is that a bushel of feathers, a bushel of cotton, a bushel of wheat, or a bushel of lead pellets? (A bushel is a volume, not a weight.)
The weight of a steel grain bin can vary depending on its size and design. However, on average, a steel grain bin can weigh approximately 1,000 to 2,000 pounds per ton of grain capacity. For example, a 10,000-bushel grain bin could weigh around 10,000 to 20,000 pounds.
The abbreviation for a bushel is "bu."
