Not trying to be difficult but realize that the answer comes down to we won't exactly know no matter how much calculating we do. When you dry you lose water of course, but you also lose some dry matter. That number varies. We also don't know the exact volume of grain you have. We can assume 5600 but that's going to be off some too. With a 62 lb test weight, you have significantly more corn than the volume would indicate. The easiest number to use is the wet weight.

Then you figure it out by 5600/56=X/62 which would give you 6200 gross bushels of wet grain.

Then we know it is 20.5% moisture that means we would have 6200*.795 to give us the lbs of dry matter. 4929

If we adjust that back to 15.5% moisture we divide 4929/0.845=5833 gross bushels.

That assumes only water loss. There will be some dry matter loss too probably something like 1/2%

That should get you in the ball park.

For coffee shop use multiply by 1.5 if it is owned land .66 if rented.
