Crop Storage Calculator
Below is
Crop Storage Calculator which can help you determine how much crop is
actually in your storage bins.
Although not 100% accurate the following formula has proven to be a very
good measure.
Input your information in the text fields provided. Choose your crop.
You'll need to provide your bin diameter. Decide whether the crop pile
is flat, and if it is there is no need for a cone calculation.
If crop rises to
a peak then please input peak height. If crop drops into a cone fashion
then please input drop height. Input crop bushel weight*.
*If unknown use local data for that
harvest year or use standard densities.
Corn 56lbs / bushel
Soybean 60lbs / bushel
*If crop pile is flat, please
leave 'height of cone' and 'height inversion fields blank.
