Always figure the cone , or in your case the peak, at 1/3 of the hight of same. Figure cubic feet of pile including the peak. Take cubic feet times .8 to get bushels. In your case of 25% moisture your shrink factor would be .880 to bring down to 15% moisture.
Cubic feet times .8 times .880.
Test weight also enters in but I dont belive in your case for feed that is important unless you need it for a record for insurance purposes or LDP.
Test weight gets mutiplied in before the moisture factor is taken out.
