Central Indiana | Take averages of 16 and 18 you end up around 17 even though not physically possible for an ear, theoretically and mathematically gets you closer to an average than picking 16 or 18 to do the math. 18 would be too high for an average and 16 could be too low.
So say 16X40X35,000/80,000= 280
18X40X35,000/80,000= 315
17X40X35,000/80,000= 298
Going to be spots of 300+ in the field and those around 240-250. I’m sure not every ear is 40 long and not every acre has 35,000 exact same ears either. For this reason, you could market for 250bu/ac comfortably and the field will probably come in closer to 270. I know we like to walk through and say every harvestable ear is the same but it’s more likely 2-3 of those ears are half ears or ears that are less than average. So I like to figure ear counts by counting the ears then coming back and figuring for the half ears by counting half a plant. So a 35,000 ear count would be around 33,500-34,000 ears that are on average the same. Now the math is more realistic for the entire field. 17X40X33,500/80,000=285. From his ear pictures earlier that is entirely possibly given a good finish.
