Chart for high moisture corn

rrlund · Nov 1, 2008

Does anybody know off the top of their heads,or know where there is a chart online to tell the weight of ground shelled high moisture corn per foot in a 20' diameter silo? The neighbor has 2 doors of 2 year old stuff that he's feeding out of 3 times a day and can't get it emptied out completely to start refilling. He wants it out and offered to trade it for new corn and will deliver it. It'll save me the wear and tear of grinding my own. There aren't any truck scales around here close enough to make that work,so we're gonna have to estimate.

There is 314 cubic feet in the 20 dia.silo.It takes .7854 cubic ft. to make a bushel of corn.So there is 246 bu. to the foot.Ground shelled corn weight is 50 lb. to the bushel at 15.5 moisture.You would have to deduct moisture above 15.5 .Hope my math is right.

OK,thanks. I hope he's done. I had to go to the state high school cross country finals today and he hauled it. It's the bottom of the barrel alright. Some of it has some oats in it,it smells like he put it in dry then put high moisture over it. Don't know that he's gonna get a whole lot in return for that stuff.
