I came across an opportunity to get some wheat seed in a 55 gallon drum for 30$. How many pounds of seed is there in a 55 gallon drum?

I think this is a pretty good deal but I want to know how many drums I will need to plant plots.

I was thinking more like 600?? Might go by a seed store and ask them or just get them to see how many 50lb bags will fit in there.

I think it is about 6 bushels in a 55 gallon drum. 60 lbs in a bushel of wheat. 6 times 60 is 360 lbs so I'm in there somewhere with Daniel.

We did that a week ago with wheat. Each drum had a little over 300# in it. We did not fill them all the way to the top to keep the wheat from blowing out as we drove it to the lease.


I can't stand a thief.

I haven't been to the farmers place to get any yet. The guy that told me about it seems to think he has plenty.

most likely about 8 50 # bags, 7 of corn will almost fill a 55 gallon drum.
About 400#.
