DeKalb, IL | Use caution in selling ear corn at 70 lbs per bushel, though if you're buying, it might be ok. When the work was done to determine the conversion of ear corn to shelled corn, ears of the varieties of the day (probably before widespread use of double-cross hybrids) were typically 20% cob, 80% grain. Tables haven't been updated for years--though ears of modern hybrids are closer to 10% cob (admittedly, there's a difference from one hybrid to another). Selling ear corn figured at 70 lbs might actually be selling 1.1+ bushels of grain. | |
