According to the guy who weighs corn every day at the feed store here by the house, a 55gal drum usually holds about 350lbs. 350รท55=6.36lbs per gallon. My totes are 330 gallons. 330x6.36=2100lbs. If you look at the ibc totes when theyre full of liquid, they arent full, theyre a few inches from the top. They filled my tortes slam full of corn so i assumed i probably got 100lbs or so more per tote. Is my math right?
JW, a 55 gal drum holds almost , exactly 6 bushels of shelled corn . 56lbs X 6 = 336.
Yes your math is correct. 330 / 55 = 6 barrels , 6 X 336 = 2,016 Fill it full would put you at 2,100 , maybe a little more.
