What is the standard weight (lbs) of a bushel of corn?

The correct answer is: 56

The standard weight of a bushel of corn is 56 pounds. This measurement is established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is widely accepted in agricultural practices. The bushel is a unit of volume used to measure dry agricultural commodities, and the weight can vary depending on the commodity. For corn, the 56-pound standard reflects the average weight of the grain over time, accounting for moisture content and other factors that might affect density. Understanding this standard is crucial for agronomists and farmers in terms of pricing, yields, and inventory management, ensuring they can accurately assess and compare corn production and sales.
