Rolla, ND
You don't want to make it easy do you? Well 56 tonne of 56 lb corn is 2204 bushels. That much we know. We don't know the bushel weight of what's in the bin so we can't really calculate shrinkage very well. (You could have 5600 bushels by volume of 50 lb corn and it isn't going to count as 5600 bushels) generally they are going to take somewhere between 1.4 and 2% for each point. So I'm just going to arbitrarily say they will take 8% shrink, and assume you are just on in bushel weight and assume there actually is 5600 bushels in the bin (not a safe assumption). That would give us 5152 bushels to add for a total of 7356 bushels total. But the exact answer, I don't know. If you dry it will change. Probably give you more until you get to the point of overdrying, then the fact they won't pay for overydry will reduce your bushels.
